- Employs a secondary dominant II7 (A7) to create a strong pull toward the V7 (D7), a hallmark of early swing-era tension and resolution.
- Features a chromatic passing diminished chord (Bm7 - Bb°7 - Am7) to bridge the iii and ii chords, providing smooth voice-leading in the turnaround.
- Relies on the functional I-vi-ii-V foundation (G6 - Em7 - Am7 - D7), establishing a clear diatonic framework typical of the Great American Songbook.
Improvisation Focus G Major Bebop scale, specifically targeting the C# (major 3rd) over the A7 chords to highlight the secondary dominant shift.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The predictable harmonic rhythm and lack of complex modulations make it an accessible vehicle for practicing diatonic navigation and basic secondary dominants.
