- Em7-A7 functions as a ii-V leading toward the mediant (Dm), creating a momentary chromatic shift away from the Bb tonic.
- The Ebm6 (iv) provides a quintessential minor-subdominant color, facilitating a smooth transition back to the Imaj7.
- Sequential secondary dominants (G7 to Cm7 and C7 to F7) drive the harmonic movement through the circle of fifths.
Improvisation Focus Bb Major Bebop Scale (incorporating the chromatic passing tone between the 5th and 6th).
Difficulty Rating 2 (Beginner-Intermediate): The standard follows predictable functional patterns and is typically performed at a slow tempo, making it accessible for navigating secondary dominants.
