- Employs a recurring I - IV7 - bVII7(#11) sequence, utilizing a “back-door” resolution to return to the C major tonic.
- Features a chromatic parallel descent of dominant chords (Bb7 - A7 - Ab7 - G7), creating a sequence of tritone-substitute-style movements that resolve to the dominant.
- Utilizes static dominant harmony in the B-section (C7), demanding melodic variation over a prolonged harmonic plateau.
Improvisation Focus The Whole Tone scale and Lydian Dominant (4th mode of Melodic Minor).
Difficulty Rating 4/5. The combination of chromatic dominant shifts and Monk’s signature angular rhythmic phrasing requires advanced melodic control and precise timing.
