Harmonic Highlights

  • Opens with a minorized tonic (Bbm6, Cm7b5, F7b9) despite an overarching Bb major key, emphasizing modal interchange from Bb minor.
  • Features a clear iiø7-V7b9-i progression resolving to Eb minor (Fm7b5, Bb7b9, Ebm7), indicating a temporary modulation to the iv minor.
  • Includes a significant modulation to Db major via a iiø7-V7b9-I (Em7b5, Ab7b9, Dbmaj7), employing the bIII major as a common bebop harmonic destination.

Improvisation Focus Precise chord-scale application across rapid, often distant, key center shifts.

Difficulty Rating 5 (Advanced) – Requires acute awareness and execution of complex harmonic progressions and modulations.
