Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- Utilizes an extended VI–II–V–I dominant cycle (A7–D7–G7–C7) that creates intense forward momentum toward the F major tonic.
- Employs a #IV diminished passing chord (B°7) to provide a chromatic bridge between the IV7 (Bb7) and the tonic inversion (F7/C).
- Features rapid secondary ii-V sequences (Cm7–F7 and Bbm7–Eb7) that momentarily shift the tonal center toward the subdominant and its minor parallel.
Improvisation Focus Bebop scale integration and chromatic enclosure techniques to navigate dense harmonic turnover.
Difficulty Rating 4/5. The high-speed harmonic rhythm and frequent secondary dominant substitutions require advanced technical facility and precise chord-tone targeting.
