Harmonic Highlights
- Employs secondary dominants (VI7 and II7) to create a cyclical harmonic motion that extends the functional reach of the F major tonality.
- Features “functional softening” where dominant chords transform into their parallel minor equivalents (D7 to Dm7; G7 to Gm7) to initiate standard ii-V-I progressions.
- Utilizes a classic III-VI-II-V turnaround (Am7-D7-G7-C7) which provides a familiar jazz framework within the syncopated Bossa Nova structure.
Improvisation Focus Guide Tone navigation emphasizing the chromatic voice leading between the 3rd and 7th of each chord.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The progression is highly repetitive and follows predictable circle-of-fifths movements, making it an accessible entry point for Latin jazz improvisation.
