Harmonic Highlights:

  • The prominent E7b13 (V7b13) resolving to Am7 establishes a strong minor key center with a characteristic minor dominant sound.
  • Frequent ii-V progressions target non-diatonic chords, such as Cm7-F7 to Bb and F#m7-B7 to Em, creating extensive chromaticism.
  • The Em7-A7 to D major progression introduces a temporary major tonality, adding significant harmonic contrast.
  • Gmaj7 (bVIImaj7) functions modally, often serving as a pre-dominant or temporary key center via D7.

Improvisation Focus: Altered Scale (Super Locrian).

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The rapid harmonic rhythm, frequent altered dominants, and modulations via ii-V progressions demand sophisticated harmonic knowledge and agile execution.
