- Frequent use of I–ii–V–I and I–VI–ii–V cycles in F Major, establishing a quintessential “West Coast” swing foundation.
- Incorporation of secondary dominants, specifically G7 (V/V), to create strong melodic tension leading toward the C7 dominant.
- A functional shift to the subdominant (Bb) facilitated by a ii–V–I cell (Cm7–F7–Bb) and the coloristic use of Eb7 (bVII7).
