- Frequent Dm7b5-G7-Cmaj7 progressions establish the C major tonic, incorporating a minor ii-V flavor within the major key.
- Eb07 functions as a common diminished substitute dominant, creating tension before resolving to Dm7 through voice leading.
- Ebmaj7 (bIIImaj7) further expands the chromatic palette, introducing parallel minor harmony and temporary modulations.
