- Employs a frequent I - #io7 - iim7 - V7 turnaround (Eb6 - Edim7 - Fm7 - Bb7), using the diminished chord as a chromatic passing connector.
- Features a classic “backcycling” secondary dominant chain (G7 - C7 - F7 - Bb7), navigating the circle of fifths to return to the tonic.
- Incorporates the IV7 chord (Ab7) in the bridge, introducing a blues-oriented subdominant sound that deviates from standard diatonic behavior.
Improvisation Focus Eb Major Bebop scale to emphasize chord tones while smoothly bridging chromatic passing motions.
Difficulty Rating 2/5 — The clear functional harmony and predictable secondary dominants make this an accessible study in traditional jazz turnaround patterns.
