- The progression utilizes a iii-VI7-ii-V turnaround (Bm7-E7-Am7-D7), employing a secondary dominant (E7) to create chromatic tension leading toward the supertonic.
- Extended ii-V chains (Am7-D7) reinforce the G major tonality through repetitive functional cycles, a hallmark of the Great American Songbook style.
- The interjection of Dm7-G7 acts as a secondary ii-V, typically used to tonicize the IV chord or provide a modal shift toward the subdominant.
Improvisation Focus Guide tone targeting (emphasizing 3rds and 7ths) to clearly define the frequent ii-V transitions.
Difficulty Rating 2/5 — The harmony relies on standard diatonic functions and predictable voice leading, making it an accessible vehicle for developing jazz soloists.
