- The A section is grounded in a repetitive I-vi-ii-V turnaround (Fmaj7-Dm7-Gm7-C7), providing a textbook example of diatonic cycling in F major.
- The bridge initiates a subdominant shift to Bbmaj7, followed by a secondary ii-V (Bm7b5-E7) that tonicizes the mediant, Am7.
- Harmonically, the piece relies on standard functional substitutions, such as using F6 or Dm7 interchangeably to maintain melodic fluidity over the tonic.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale (incorporating the Db passing tone to bridge the I and vi chords).
Difficulty Rating 2/5; the predictable harmonic rhythm and reliance on standard jazz turnarounds make it highly accessible for beginners, requiring only basic knowledge of secondary dominants.
