- Features an extended dominant cycle (G7–C7–F7–Bb7) in the A section, functioning as an elongated turnaround to the tonic Eb.
- Uses chromatic side-slipping (D7 to Db7) as a transitionary harmonic bridge before entering the secondary dominant sequence.
- The B section shifts to the subdominant (Abmaj7) via a ii–V (Bbm7–Eb7), providing a traditional tonal relief from the A section’s dense dominant motion.
Improvisation Focus The Eb Bebop scale for the head, transitioning to Mixolydian and Altered scales to navigate the rapid cycle of fourths.
Difficulty Rating 3/5 because while the AABA structure is standard, the speed of the dominant substitutions in the A section requires advanced harmonic navigation.
