  • Frequent use of iim7b5-V7alt-i minor progressions (Dm7b5-G7b9b13-Cm7) firmly establishes the C minor key center.
  • Employs chromatic dominant movement with Gb7#11, functioning as a tritone substitution or a dominant leading to Fm7.
  • Features Eb7 (bIII7), adding a bluesy dominant quality before the dominant-tonic resolution.
  • The Ab7#11 (bVI7#11) acts as a colorful chromatic dominant, intensifying the approach to the final G7alt.

Improvisation Focus: C Harmonic Minor scale.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The frequent use of altered dominants and non-diatonic chromatic chords requires sophisticated harmonic understanding for improvisation.
