- Diatonic I-ii-V-I sequences (Fmaj7-Gm7-C7) establish a firm tonal foundation typical of Kern’s melodic structures.
- Use of the secondary dominant (G7 as V/V) creates a functional pull toward the dominant (C7), facilitating smooth harmonic motion.
- Sequential circle-of-fifths movement (Dm7-G7-C7) provides a standard jazz turnaround that reinforces the home key center.
- Smooth voice leading between the Imaj7 and vi7 chords allows for effortless navigation through the A sections.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale.
Difficulty Rating 2. The reliance on standard ii-V-I progressions and a consistent tonal center makes this an accessible vehicle for practicing fundamental jazz vocabulary.
