- Utilizes a recurring Imaj7 to iv(maj7) oscillation (Bbmaj7 to Ebm/maj7), introducing the Melodic Minor sound as a functional subdominant substitution.
- Features a chromatic dominant descent (G7#9 - Gb7 - F7), employing Gb7 as a tritone substitution for the VI7 chord to drive toward the dominant.
- Employs an Eb°7 passing chord to link the subdominant area to the iii-VI-ii-V turnaround, creating a sophisticated bridge between diatonic and chromatic harmony.
Improvisation Focus
- Melodic Minor (specifically Eb Melodic Minor over Ebm/maj7) to handle the unconventional tonic-to-minor-subdominant transition.
Difficulty Rating
- 4 (Advanced) because the tune requires navigating specific minor/major colors and rapid chromatic turnarounds that exceed standard bebop vocabulary.
