- Utilizes an accelerated “Rhythm Changes” turnaround (III7–VI7–II7–V7) in the A section, cycling G7–C7–F7–Bb7 to create aggressive forward momentum toward the Eb tonic.
- The bridge employs chromatic “side-slipping” ii-V cells, shifting from Bbm7–Eb7 (ii-V of Ab) up a half-step to Bm7–E7, creating intense harmonic tension.
- Extensive use of tritone substitutions, specifically E7 acting as a dominant substitute for Bb7, providing a chromatic approach to the Eb6 resolutions.
Improvisation Focus Whole-tone scales and rhythmic displacement to navigate the angular melody and rapid dominant cycles.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The head features dense, rhythmically complex sixteenth-note clusters and rapid-fire changes that demand exceptional technical facility and precise timing.
