- The immediate shift from I (Cmaj7) to bII (Dbmaj7) creates a distinctive Neapolitan relationship, establishing a “dream-like” chromaticism.
- Frequent use of ii-V-I sequences modulates rapidly through major keys (Ab, F, and C), requiring smooth navigation of temporary tonics.
- The bridge utilizes side-slipping and deceptive resolutions, notably the Ebm7-Ab7 moving chromatically to the Dm7-G7 turnaround.
Improvisation Focus Navigating rapid key center modulations via Major/Lydian scales on tonic chords and the Bebop scale on connecting ii-V sequences.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: Requires intermediate proficiency to track frequent, non-diatonic shifts and maintain melodic continuity across multiple temporary tonal centers.
