Harmonic Highlights
- Prominent use of the I7 (Eb7) and V7 (Bb7) dominant chords, establishing a blues-inflected, modal harmonic landscape rather than typical diatonic functional harmony.
- Frequent parallel movement between the V7 (Bb7) and I7 (Eb7), creating a characteristic, almost call-and-response rhythmic and harmonic pattern.
- Introduction of Bb7b5, hinting at altered dominant voicings and adding a touch of angularity or diminished color to the V chord.
Improvisation Focus Mixolydian modes over the dominant 7th chords.
Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The unique chord movements and Monk’s rhythmic approach require careful navigation beyond typical functional harmony.
