- Step-wise diatonic motion (Imaj7–iim7–iiim7) in the A section creates a smooth, linear melodic foundation.
- Utilization of secondary dominants, specifically D7 (V7/ii) and G7 (V7/V), provides strong functional momentum toward the ii-V-I cadences.
- The bridge emphasizes the subdominant (Bb6) and incorporates a G7 (V7/V) to build tension before returning to the tonic via a Gm7–C7 turnaround.
- Consistent ii-V-I resolutions reinforce a clear F major tonality, adhering to traditional swing-era harmonic structures.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale.
Difficulty Rating 2/5. The harmonic progression is highly functional and predictable, making it an excellent vehicle for mastering foundational jazz vocabulary and guide-tone lines.
