Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- Features a recursive descending pattern of ii-V sequences that modulate from the tonic Bb major through Eb, Db, and B major.
- Utilizes an expanded 24-bar jazz waltz structure that reimagines the blues frame through sophisticated cycles of fourths and chromatic shifts.
- Employs “backdoor” ii-V sequences (e.g., Ebm7-Ab7 to Dbmaj7) to facilitate smooth transitions into distant tonal centers.
Improvisation Focus Mastering voice leading through rapid ii-V-I chains across descending chromatic key centers.
Difficulty Rating 4/5; the frequent modulations and the need to navigate non-diatonic tonal shifts at a brisk tempo require advanced harmonic awareness and technical facility.
