- Employs strong diatonic IV-V-I movements (Ab-Bb-Eb) typical of gospel and folk-jazz styles.
- Utilizes G/B as a secondary dominant (V/vi) to drive functional momentum toward the relative minor (Cm).
- Features chromatic voice leading via F7 and F#dim7, creating a smooth scalar transition to the tonic inversion (Eb/G).
- Relies on melodic bass motion through slash chords like Eb7/Bb to soften dominant resolutions and maintain a lyrical flow.
Improvisation Focus Eb Major Pentatonic/Major Blues scale.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The piece follows a clear, predictable harmonic path with slow changes, allowing soloists to focus on lyrical phrasing rather than complex chord substitutions.
