- Employs standard I-vi-ii-V turnarounds in C major to establish the primary tonality.
- Utilizes a minor ii-V-i (Bm7b5 - E7b9 - Am) to tonicize the relative minor, providing harmonic contrast.
- Features a secondary ii-V (Gm7 - C7) to transition smoothly toward the IV chord (Fmaj7).
- Incorporates a secondary dominant D7 (V/V) to drive the progression back to the primary G7 dominant.
Improvisation Focus The C Major Bebop Scale is the most effective concept for navigating the frequent turnarounds and maintaining rhythmic integrity over the diatonic changes.
Difficulty Rating 2/5 (Beginner-Intermediate). The structure relies on predictable functional harmony and standard jazz tropes, providing a clear and accessible roadmap for developing soloists.
