Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights
- Employs rapid ii-V-I cadences in F major, utilizing standard bebop functional harmony to establish a driving tonal center.
- Features a sophisticated modulation to A major in the bridge, representing a chromatic mediant shift that brightens the harmonic texture.
- Integrates secondary dominants (Am7–D7) to create smooth voice-leading transitions toward the subdominant ii-chord (Gm7).
- Utilizes a cyclical AABA structure where the harmonic rhythm accelerates during turnarounds, demanding precise vertical alignment.
Improvisation Focus Bebop scale integration and digital patterns over high-speed ii-V-I cells.
Difficulty Rating 4 — The breakneck performance tempo and the abrupt modulation to a distantly related key in the bridge require advanced technical facility and harmonic navigation.
