- Employs secondary dominants (C7 to Fmaj7) to tonicize the IV chord, creating a brief blues-inflected departure from C major.
- Utilizes a chromatic turnaround via Em7b5/Bb to A7, acting as a substituted V/ii to set up the Dm7.
- Features a distinct shift to the relative minor via a Bm7b5–E7–Am7 sequence, requiring a transition to A harmonic minor.
- Extensive use of cycling ii-V-I cells (Dm7-G7-C) ensures tonal resolution amidst the harmonic ornamentations.
Improvisation Focus Chord Tone Soloing: Prioritizing the guide tones (3rds and 7ths) is essential to navigate the rapid secondary dominant changes and minor ii-V turnarounds.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The tune is harmonically straightforward in C major but demands precision in managing the frequent altered dominant resolutions and minor-key shifts.
