The Fm7 you used in bar 13 is interesting.
If I used that change I might be tempted to approach
it with F#m7b5, B7 as in (beginning with bar 9)
> Gm7 | C7 | F | F#m7b5 B7 |
> Fm7 | Bb7 | Ebm7 Ab7 | Dm7 G7 |
or even:
> Gm7 | C7 | F#m7b5 | B7 |
> Fm7 | Bb7 | Ebm7 Ab7 | Dm7 G7 |
Also, it's interesting to note Joe's use of Bb7 as opposed
to Dm7b5.
Dm7b5 is a rootless Bb9 chord.
