Harmonic Highlights:

  • The C#07 functions as a chromatic passing diminished, creating tension before resolving to Bb/D.
  • Repeated secondary dominant chords, like G7b9 (V7/ii), propel the harmony with strong voice leading.
  • Rapid, brief modulations via ii-V progressions (e.g., Abm7-Db7 to Gb; Gm7-C7 to F) add harmonic surprise.
  • The Cm7b5-F7 (iiø7-V7 of Bb minor) progression creates a bluesy minor color before resolving to Bb major.

Improvisation Focus: Bebop scales and arpeggios that outline the numerous temporary key centers.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) The frequent, rapid modulations and altered dominant chords require a sophisticated understanding of multiple key centers and scale applications.
