🎼 Sheet Music
Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- Employs a chromatic diminished passing chord (Db°7) to bridge the I (Bb/D) and ii7 (Cm7), creating smooth step-wise voice leading.
- Relies on repetitive ii-V7 cells (Cm7 - F7) that reinforce the Bb major tonal center throughout the A sections.
- Features a IV7 (Eb7) moving to iii7 (Dm7), providing a brief blues-inflected deviation before returning to functional diatonic movement.
Improvisation Focus Bb Major Bebop scale, emphasizing chord tones during the descending chromatic transitions.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The harmonic rhythm is steady and the functional ii-V logic is predictable, making it highly accessible for intermediate soloists.
