  • Employs a descending ii-V chain, using Dm7-G7 (ii-V of Cm) before the main Cm7-F7 (ii-V of Bb).
  • Extended duration of the Cm7 (ii chord) builds anticipation for the dominant F7 resolution.
  • The F7#5 alteration on the dominant chord adds distinct harmonic color prior to resolution.
  • Features a standard Fm7-Bb7 (ii-V) progression leading to the subdominant Eb6.

Improvisation Focus: Bebop scales for outlining chord changes and dominant function.

Difficulty Rating: 3/5. Relies heavily on diatonic ii-V-I progressions with some minor alterations, making it accessible for foundational harmonic study.
