- Utilizes a cyclical I-vi-ii-V turnaround (Fmaj7-Dm7-Gm7-C7) as the primary harmonic engine for the A sections.
- Employs secondary dominants and chromatic ii-V sequences (Am7b5-D7b9) to create temporary tonicizations of G minor and A minor.
- Features a rapid harmonic rhythm where chords typically change every two beats, characteristic of “Rhythm Changes” variants.
- Incorporates a Bm7b5 to E7 turnaround to transition smoothly toward the iii chord (Am7), adding sophisticated minor-key color to a major-key structure.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop scale and fluid navigation of ii-V-I arpeggios.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The harmonic language is standard, but the typical high-velocity tempo and dense chord changes demand significant technical facility and mental agility.
