- The progression utilizes dense chains of ii-V sequences (Dm7-G7, Cm7-F7, Fm7-Bb7) that shift the tonal center rapidly by descending fourths.
- A prominent dominant cycle (D7–G7–C7–F7) serves as a bridge-like structure, creating high tension before resolving back to the tonic area.
- The movement from Bbmaj7 to G7 functions as a I–VI transition, typical of “Rhythm Changes,” though modified here with chromatic substitutions.
Improvisation Focus Bebop scales (Dominant and Major) combined with arpeggio-based “digital patterns” (1-2-3-5) to navigate the fast-moving harmonic rhythm.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The high-tempo harmonic density and constant cycling through secondary dominants require advanced structural awareness and precise technical facility.
