- Extensive use of minor ii-V-i progressions (Bm7b5-E7b9-Am7) to tonicize the mediant, creating a sophisticated, non-diatonic harmonic landscape.
- Implementation of a “backdoor” ii-V (Bbm7-Eb7) resolving to Fmaj7, providing a romantic modal interchange effect from the parallel minor.
- Sequential movement through secondary dominants, specifically alternating between major (Am7-D7) and minor (Am7b5-D7b9) ii-V patterns to target the Gm7 chord.
Improvisation Focus
- Harmonic Minor scales (specifically A and D) to accurately navigate the V7b9 tensions within the frequent minor-key turnarounds.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The soloist must fluidly pivot between major and minor functional harmony while maintaining melodic continuity across multiple temporary tonal centers.
