- Frequent use of I-vi-ii-V turnarounds (Ebmaj7-Cm7-Fm7-Bb7) establishing a strong diatonic foundation.
- Extended dominant cycles (C7 to F7 to Bb7) utilizing secondary dominants to navigate back to the tonic.
- A minor ii-V-i (Dm7b5-G7b9-Cm7) tonicizing the relative minor, providing a brief shift in tonal color.
- Chromatic voice leading via the Gm7b5/Db, which functions as an inverted passing chord to resolve smoothly into the C7.
Improvisation Focus Eb Major Bebop scale and guide-tone targeting over the secondary dominants.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The harmonic rhythm is steady and the progressions follow standard functional jazz logic, making it accessible for developing improvisers.
