- Employs the “Rhythm Changes” AABA structure, utilizing rapid I-VI-ii-V turnarounds (Bbmaj7-G7-Cm7-F7) throughout the A sections.
- The bridge features an extended sequence of secondary dominants, moving through a I7-IV7-bVII7 (Bb7-Eb7-Ab7) sequence before resolving into the standard III-VI-II-V cycle (D7-G7-C7-F7).
- High harmonic density necessitates precise voice leading and navigating two-to-the-bar chord changes at typically bright tempos.
Improvisation Focus Bebop vocabulary and “3-7” guide-tone connections to fluidly navigate the rapid cycle of fourths and ii-V transitions.
Difficulty Rating 3/5; while the harmonic language is foundational, the high-speed harmonic rhythm and the need for “rhythm changes” vocabulary require moderate technical proficiency.
