https://jazztutorial.com/articles/minor-2-5-1-chord-progression
The minor 2-5-1 chord progression (also written minor ii-V-i or minor 251) is one of the most important chord progressions in jazz harmony. It is built from the 2nd, 5th, and 1st degrees of the harmonic minor scale and is commonly used to establish a minor key center. In C minor, the progression consists of D half-diminished (Dm7♭5), G7, and C minor. While the traditional resolution is a C minor-major 7 chord, most jazz musicians and composers prefer a C minor 7 chord for a softer, more relaxed sound. Learning the minor 2-5-1 in all 12 keys is an essential step toward mastering jazz chord progressions, improvisation, and jazz standards.
