Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features a striking descending chromatic minor chord sequence (G#m7, Gm7, F#m7), creating unique voice leading.
  • Employs multiple rapid ii-V-I modulations, notably to Ab major (Bbm7-Eb7-Abmaj7) and Bb major (Cm7b5-F7-Bbmaj7), moving through non-adjacent key centers.
  • Utilizes various altered dominant chords such as C7#5, F7b9#5, Eb7b9, and A7b13, adding significant harmonic tension and color.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating altered dominant scales (e.g., Altered Scale, Lydian Dominant) for the frequent V7#5, V7b9#5, and V7b13 chords.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) โ€“ The frequent, often non-diatonic modulations and complex altered dominants demand highly sophisticated harmonic understanding and execution.
