Harmonic Highlights:

  • The progression prominently features the I7-IV7-I7 dominant blues framework in F, establishing a bluesy foundation.
  • It incorporates a ii-V (Cm7-F7) leading to the IV7 (Bb7), extending the harmonic movement typical of jazz blues.
  • A chromatic passing diminished chord (#ivdim7 - B07) resolves effectively to the I7 (F7), adding tension and color.
  • The classic jazz turnaround (Am7-D7-Gm7-C7) provides a robust ii-V-I progression, defining the harmonic resolution.

Improvisation Focus: Outlining chord tones and navigating dominant scales for each changing chord.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The blend of blues harmony with intricate ii-V-I progressions demands a solid grasp of jazz theory and melodic navigation.
