Harmonic Highlights:

  • A chromatic bass line descent (C - Cmaj7/B - C7/Bb) alters chord quality while creating strong voice leading.
  • Secondary dominant function (A7 leading to Dm7) is established, driving harmonic motion towards the ii-V.
  • The use of a borrowed minor iv chord (Fm7) after Fmaj7 adds a characteristic melancholic, bluesy color.
  • Sections employing pedal point harmony (e.g., Cmaj7/G, Am7/G, Dm7/G) create sustained tension and harmonic layering.

Improvisation Focus: Arpeggios and chromatic approach notes to highlight chord changes and extensions.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). It features common jazz harmony devices like secondary dominants and borrowed chords, requiring a solid grasp of diatonic and non-diatonic arpeggios.
