- Consistent I-ii-V-I movements (Ebmaj7-Fm7-Bb7) reinforce a stable Eb major tonality throughout the entire form.
- The Gm7 to Ab7 sequence provides a brief chromatic neighbor-tone shift, creating melodic lift before returning to diatonic motion.
- The secondary dominant F7 (V7 of V) serves as a functional bridge to the ii-V turnaround, strengthening the final resolution to the tonic.
Improvisation Focus
- Eb Major Bebop Scale.
Difficulty Rating
- 1/5. The progression is highly predictable and stays almost entirely within the primary diatonic scale, making it an ideal entry-level standard for beginners.
