- The A section utilizes a classic I–iii–VI7–ii–V progression, where the C7 functions as a secondary dominant (V/ii) to create forward motion toward the Fm7.
- The sequence Abm7–Db7 serves as a “backdoor” ii–V (bVII7), providing a sophisticated chromatic alternative to a standard V7 turnaround back to the Eb tonic.
- The structure relies on functional diatonic cycling and the cycle of fourths, characteristic of mid-century hard bop and “Rhythm Changes” variations.
Improvisation Focus The Eb Major Bebop scale (Eb–F–G–Ab–Bb–B–C–D) to effectively navigate the secondary dominants while maintaining a melodic, swinging flow.
Difficulty Rating 3/5. While the harmonic vocabulary is standard, the typical up-tempo delivery requires fluid command of bebop language and precise guide-tone targeting.
