  • The opening Bbm7-F7 progression is an atypical movement, suggesting a temporary minor tonic (Bbm) with a non-diatonic dominant or an extended V/vi, challenging direct tonic orientation.
  • Frequent use of secondary dominant functions (e.g., Bb7 to Ebm7, Eb7) and extended ii-V progressions (Abm7-Db7 for Gb, Fm7-Bb7 for Eb).
  • A sequence of dominant 7th chords (Gb7, B7) creates rapid, often tritone-related harmonic tension before resolving to the tonic Dbmaj7.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating rapid, successive modulations and complex dominant-resolutions.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) - The constant modulations, secondary dominants, and non-standard progressions demand a high level of harmonic agility.
