  • Initial Fmaj7/A (bIIImaj7) immediately establishes the relative major (F) as a strong tonal center, blurring the D minor tonic.
  • Features an intricate descending dominant chain (A7/G, D7/F#, G7/F, C7/E), employing inversions for smooth bass movement and heightened harmonic tension.
  • Incorporates sophisticated ii-V variations, such as Gm7b5/Db leading to C7, hinting at minor ii-V concepts and chromaticism.
  • Constant interplay between D minor and its relative major, F, evident in the recurring Gm7-C7 (ii-V of F) progressions.

Improvisation Focus: Chord-scale application to precisely outline ii-V-I progressions and their various forms across D minor and F major.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). The harmonic density, rapid chord changes, and sophisticated voice leading require a deep understanding of jazz harmony.
