- Relies on cyclical ii-V-I progressions (Dm7-G7-Cmaj7) and frequent secondary dominants (A7 as V/ii) to create perpetual forward motion.
- Utilizes “step-wise” ii-V sequencing (Em7-A7 descending to Dm7-G7), a classic Evans technique for increasing harmonic density.
- Employs the E7#5 as a functional secondary dominant (V/vi) resolving to Fmaj7, introducing chromatic tension within the diatonic structure.
Improvisation Focus Targeting 3rds and 7ths (guide tones) to maintain melodic clarity amidst the rapid harmonic rhythm.
Difficulty Rating 3/5; while the key center is stable, the brisk tempo and frequent chord changes require high-level technical facility and precise voice leading.
