Harmonic Highlights
- The progression primarily utilizes the foundational ii-V-I progression (Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7) in Eb major.
- A recurring ii-V substitution is present, such as Gm7-C7 leading to Fm7-Bb7, effectively targeting the ii chord (Fm7) within the primary ii-V-I.
- The IVmaj7 (Abmaj7) is introduced as a point of harmonic color and a turnaround element, often preceding further dominant motion.
- The consistent use of ii-V cycles reinforces the Eb major key center, providing a clear harmonic framework.
Improvisation Focus Eb Major scale and its diatonic modes (Dorian for ii, Mixolydian for V).
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate). Its prevalence of ii-V-I progressions makes it approachable, but the typical brisk tempo and common substitutions elevate it beyond beginner.
