- Employs a standard I-vi-ii-V cyclic progression (F6-Dm7-Gm7-C7) in the A sections, quintessential to 1930s swing era functional harmony.
- Features a chromatic #IV diminished passing chord (Bº7) connecting the IV chord (Bb) to the tonic over the fifth (F/C), facilitating smooth ascending voice leading.
- Utilizes a secondary dominant (G7) in the bridge as a V/V, creating a strong harmonic pull toward the dominant C7 before returning to the tonic.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale.
Difficulty Rating 2/5. The song relies on predictable functional harmony and a moderate swing tempo, making it an ideal vehicle for practicing basic turnaround vocabulary.
