- The bridge features a “Giant Steps” precursor, cycling through three key centers (Bb, Gb, and D) related by descending major thirds.
- Abrupt modulations are achieved via ii-V-I cells, specifically Abm7–Db7 to Gbmaj7 and Em7–A7 to Dmaj7, before returning to F major.
- The A section employs a standard I–VI–ii–V turnaround and diatonic movement, contrasting sharply with the bridge’s chromatic complexity.
Improvisation Focus Navigating rapid tonal shifts by targeting 3rds and 7ths during the major-third modulations in the bridge.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: While the A sections are standard, the bridge requires advanced proficiency to fluidly navigate three unrelated keys at a fast tempo.
