- Functions as a 12-bar minor blues in Bb minor, utilizing a dominant IV chord (Eb7) to establish a Dorian-inflected soul-jazz tonality.
- The turnaround replaces traditional functional V-I movements with chromatic parallel dominant 13th chords (A13 to B13) that act as a side-slipping approach to the tonic.
- Employs static harmonic blocks on the Bbm7, emphasizing a hard-bop groove over complex functional modulations.
Improvisation Focus Bb Blues Scale (or Bb Dorian mode).
Difficulty Rating 2/5. The slow-to-medium tempo and repetitive minor blues structure are accessible, though the specific chromatic turnaround requires precise rhythmic synchronization.
