- The C – Caug – C6 sequence utilizes a chromatic inner-voice (G–G#–A) to drive the initial tonic movement.
- A chromatic line cliché over the submediant (Am – Am(maj7)/G# – Am7/G) provides smooth melodic movement within a functional minor structure.
- Altered secondary dominants (A7#9, A7b13) create sophisticated tension as the VI7 chord leading to the ii (Dm7).
- The Ab7#11 functions as a tritone substitute for D7 (subV/V), facilitating a chromatic approach to the G7 dominant.
Improvisation Focus C Major Bebop scale and chord tone targeting on the ii-V-I turnarounds.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The moderate tempo and standard functional progressions are accessible, though navigating the altered VI7 extensions requires basic knowledge of tension and resolution.
