- Employs the “Idaho” contrafact structure, utilizing a III7 (A7b9) to vi (Dm7) secondary dominant motion to reinforce the F major tonality.
- Features a series of parallel major 7th chords (Bmaj7, Amaj7, Abmaj7, Gbmaj7) that creates a chromatic “side-slipping” effect, momentarily suspending functional harmony.
- Integrates dominant alterations like the D7b13 to increase harmonic tension before resolving into standard ii-V-I turnarounds.
Improvisation Focus Linear chromaticism and voice leading over non-functional parallel major structures.
Difficulty Rating 4/5 – The rapid, non-diatonic shifts and the break from traditional functional harmony require advanced ear training and high-level melodic precision.
