- The A section utilizes a diatonic I-ii-iii-ii scalar motion (Fmaj7-Gm7-Am7-Gm7), creating a smooth, linear foundation in F major.
- A IV7 chord (Bb7#11) acts as a Lydian Dominant substitute, providing sophisticated non-diatonic tension within the subdominant area.
- The bridge features a sudden modulation to the flattened mediant (Ab major) via a ii-V sequence (Bbm7-Eb7), requiring a shift in tonal perspective.
- Frequent secondary dominants (D7 leading to Gm7; G7 leading to C7) create a strong functional drive through the cyclical turnarounds.
Improvisation Focus Navigating the chromatic voice-leading and tonal shift during the bridge’s modulation to Ab major.
Difficulty Rating 3/5; the A sections are accessible diatonically, but the bridge’s rapid modulation and the use of dominant alterations require intermediate harmonic awareness.
