- Blends a traditional 12-bar blues structure with a 3/4 jazz waltz feel, primarily utilizing C major diatonicism.
- Incorporates the F7 (IV7) chord to create a bluesy, gospel-inflected plagal motion back to the tonic C.
- Uses a functional VI7 - II7 progression (A7 to D7) to drive the harmony toward the dominant G7 during the turnaround.
- Employs ii-V7 resolutions (Dm7/G to G7) to reinforce the C major key center throughout the repetitive A sections.
Improvisation Focus C Blues Scale and C Major Pentatonic integration.
