- The A sections feature a recurring I-vi-ii-V progression in C Major, providing a quintessential diatonic foundation for the melody.
- The use of the minor subdominant (Fm6) introduces modal mixture, facilitating a smooth and emotive iv-I resolution back to the tonic.
- The bridge modulates toward the relative minor (A minor) using a descending chromatic line cliché (Am, Am/maj7, Am7).
- Integration of the secondary dominant D7 (V/V) and passing D#o7 creates efficient voice leading into the iii-vi-ii-V turnaround.
Improvisation Focus Targeting chord tones within cyclical I-vi-ii-V turnarounds.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The harmonic structure is predictable and relies on standard jazz vocabulary, making it highly accessible for developing musicians.
