Harmonic Highlights

  • Chromatic Diminished Approaches: The use of Bb07 and Ab07 as leading tone diminished chords creates sophisticated chromatic voice leading towards Am7.
  • Secondary Dominants and ii-V-I Progressions: Clear tonicization of the IV chord (Dm7-G7-Cmaj7) and the vi chord (E7b9 to Am7) establish temporary harmonic centers.
  • Non-diatonic Dominant (C7): The C7 chord’s appearance after Gmaj7 introduces a prominent non-diatonic tension, potentially functioning as a blues dominant or temporary V7/F.

Improvisation Focus Emphasizing chord tones and applying appropriate altered scales over secondary dominants.

Difficulty Rating 4 - Requires precise navigation of quickly moving chromatic diminished chords and multiple secondary dominant resolutions.
