- Frequent use of #i°7 (B°7) as a chromatic connector between the tonic and the VI7 (G7) or ii7 (Cm7), facilitating smooth bass movement.
- Extensive use of iii-VI-ii-V turnarounds (Dm7-G7-Cm7-F7), often incorporating altered extensions like G7b9#5 to heighten tension.
- Employs secondary dominants and tritone substitutions (such as Gb9 or E7b5) to transition between the tonic Bbmaj7 and subdominant Ebmaj7 sections.
Improvisation Focus Bb Major Bebop scale, with emphasis on targeting chord tones of the secondary dominants during rapid turnaround cycles.
Difficulty Rating 3/5; while the tonal center remains stable, the constant stream of passing diminished chords and quick ii-V-I shifts requires disciplined voice leading.
