- Frequent use of the ii-V of ii (Bm7b5 - E7b9) provides harmonic depth by temporarily tonicizing the Am7 chord.
- Strong ii-V-I resolutions in G major (Am7 - D7 - Gmaj7) anchor the primary tonal center.
- The inclusion of C7 (the IV7) acts as a bluesy subdominant or a bridge to the iii-VI-ii-V turnaround.
- Cycle of fourths movement facilitates smooth voice leading throughout the A sections.
Improvisation Focus G Major/Bebop Major scale, with targeted use of the A Harmonic Minor scale over the E7b9 chord to highlight the flat 9.
Difficulty Rating 2/5. The changes are largely diatonic and follow a predictable A-B-A-C form, making it accessible for developing improvisers.
