- Frequent secondary dominants (V/ii, V/V, V/vi) create a sophisticated cycle-of-fifths movement through the A section (D7 to G7 to Gm7 to C7).
- A minor ii-V (Em7b5 - A7b9) targets the relative minor (vi) but frequently resolves to a dominant D7, acting as a pivot to G7.
- The bridge utilizes a ii-V-I to the subdominant (Cm7 - F7 - Bbmaj7) followed by a parallel minor iv - bVII7 (Bbm7 - Eb7) for a smooth chromatic return to the tonic.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale (incorporating chromatic passing tones to navigate the secondary dominants).
Difficulty Rating 3/5: It demands fluid navigation of rapid secondary dominants and minor ii-V-I resolutions while maintaining the lyrical melody.
