- Employs a primary I-VI-ii-V progression (C6-A7-Dm7-G7) that establishes a strong diatonic foundation through standard functional cycles.
- Utilizes secondary dominants like E7 and C7 to create temporary tonicizations of the vi (Am7) and IV (Fmaj7) chords.
- Features a “backdoor” resolution using the Bb7 (bVII7) chord to return to the tonic C6, adding characteristic chromaticism.
- The bridge follows a classic ii-V-I in the subdominant key (Gm7-C7-F6) before recycling back to the home key via a turnaround.
Improvisation Focus C Major Bebop scale and chord-tone arpeggiation over the I-VI-ii-V cycles.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The structure is a predictable AABA form with standard functional resolutions, making it ideal for practicing basic jazz vocabulary.
