Harmonic Highlights:

  • The Db07 functions as a bII°7, acting as a chromatic passing diminished or a substitute dominant leading to Cm6.
  • The Dm7b5 - G7b13 progression creates a strong iiø7-V7alt sound, temporarily tonicizing C minor before returning to the home key.
  • A sequence of dominant chords (G7, C7, F7) employs both altered (G7b13) and secondary dominant (C7 as V/F) functions to propel towards Bbmaj7.

Improvisation Focus: Altered scale concepts over the V7b13 and diminished chords.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). It demands facility with altered dominants and diminished chord voicings within ii-V progressions.
