- Frequent use of ii-V-I progressions in the subdominant (Cm7-F7-Bbmaj7) and modal interchange via the bVII7 (Eb7) create a lush, Brazilian-influenced harmonic palette.
- The “line cliché” sequence (Am, Amaug, Am6, Am7, Am/maj7) requires precise navigation of internal chromatic voice-leading of the 5th and 7th degrees.
- Strategic use of the tritone substitute Bb7#11 to resolve into Am7 demonstrates sophisticated chromatic dominant movement and tension.
Improvisation Focus Targeting guide tones within internal chromatic line clichés to highlight shifting inner voices.
Difficulty Rating 3/5; the frequent secondary dominants and shifting internal voices require intermediate-level chord-scale knowledge and precise melodic voice-leading.
