- Employs a chromatic line cliché in the opening (F6–Faug–Bb6), using the augmented fifth (C#) as a leading tone to the sixth of the IV chord.
- Incorporates a “backdoor” resolution via the bVII7 chord (Eb7), providing a blues-inflected transition from the IV chord back to the tonic F6.
- Features a standard secondary dominant chain (D7–Gm7–G7–C7) that reinforces the circle of fifths movement typical of the Great American Songbook.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale to navigate the diatonic framework while providing chromatic passing tones for the dominant 2-5-1 cadences.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The structure is primarily diatonic and follows predictable functional harmony, making it accessible for developing improvisers.
