Harmonic Highlights

  • Extensive use of the ii-V (Cm7-F7) progression, establishing a strong tonal center in Bb major.
  • Characteristic chromatic diminished movement with Db07 resolving to the ii minor chord (Cm7), adding harmonic tension and color.
  • Frequent variations of the tonic chord (Bb, Bbmaj7, Bb6) providing melodic interest over the static home chord.

Improvisation Focus Bb Major scale and its diatonic modes over the ii-V-I progression.

Difficulty Rating 2 (Beginner-Intermediate): Relies on fundamental ii-V-I cycles, with a single, common chromatic diminished chord requiring minimal adjustment.
