- Utilizes a “Rhythm Changes” derived I-VI-ii-V framework, enhanced by a C#°7 passing tone to provide chromatic ascending bass motion from ii to I/3rd.
- Features a series of descending chromatic ii-V sequences (Am7-D7 to Abm7-Db7 to Gm7-C7) that momentarily pull the ear away from the Bb tonic.
- Employs the subdominant minor (Cm7b5) during the final turnaround to create a “jazzier” b6-to-5 tension before resolving to Bb6.
Improvisation Focus Voice-leading through rapid, non-diatonic ii-V chains using Bebop scales and chord-tone targeting.
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate): While the foundation is a standard swing feel, the chromatic ii-V sequences require quick mental shifts and precise melodic targeting at Horace Silver’s typical tempos.
