II Vs Charlie Parkers ideas from Donna Lee Bebop scale chromaticism is used.

7th chord arpeggios built from the 3rd of the chord are fre uentl!. II Vs can be reduced to IV V "hich is easier to picture on a stringed instrument. e.g. #$7add % to &7 or #m7add% to &7b% #m7. 'r Dm7 to Dm7b( or D diminished ) real e!e opener is ho" great the )m triad sounds o*er the II chord+ the full )m7 chord sounds too much like a tonic but the straight )m,-o (th of C. sound great.

/ubstitute II Vs )ppl!ing Dorian and L!dian dominant scales to a short substitute II V can sound clunk! as the progression is an artificial creation. ) better option although not technicall! correct is to use $i0ol!dian o*er both chords.
