Harmonic Highlights

  • The persistent F7 (V7) to Eb7 (bVII7) alternation creates a blues-infused, modal dominant vamp, moving away from simple V-i resolution.
  • Introduction of Abm7-Db7, a ii-V to Gb major (bVI), acts as a deceptive progression or brief chromatic tonicization, adding harmonic color.
  • Sequential ii-V progressions (Dm7-G7 to Cm7-F7) demonstrate a modulating structure, leading towards the relative major (Bb major) or tonic major.

Improvisation Focus Navigating ii-V progressions and their related dominant scales, requiring adaptability to various temporary tonal centers.

Difficulty Rating 4: Requires advanced understanding of non-diatonic dominant functions and rapid key center shifts.
