🎼 Sheet Music
Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights:
- Incorporates a chromatic passing diminished chord (Abº7) to transition from the tonic to the supertonic (Dm7), functioning as a secondary leading-tone substitute.
- Features a minor “cliché” line (Dm-Dmaug-Dm6) that utilizes chromatic inner-voice leading over a static ii chord foundation.
- Utilizes a classic swing-era turnaround (iii-biiiº7-ii7-V7) via the Em7-Ebº7-Dm7-G7 sequence to facilitate smooth descending stepwise motion.
Improvisation Focus: C Major Bebop Scale.
Difficulty Rating: 2/5: The predictable functional harmony and standard swing-era voice leading make it highly accessible for intermediate players.
