- Utilizes a persistent I-VI-ii-V cycle in C major, where the A7 acts as a secondary dominant (V/ii) to create chromatic internal motion.
- Employs iii-VI-ii-V substitutions (Em7-A7-Dm7-G7) to prolong the harmonic rhythm and avoid tonic stagnation.
- Integrates modal interchange through the Dm7b5 (iiø7) chord, borrowing from the parallel minor (C minor) to increase tension before the G7 resolution.
Improvisation Focus Voice leading through the cyclic turnarounds using the C major bebop scale while highlighting the C# accidental over the A7 chords.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The repetitive, cyclic nature is predictable for most players, though the fast harmonic rhythm requires fluid navigation of secondary dominants.
