- Employs standard I-vi-ii-V turnarounds (C6-Am7-Dm7-G7) to reinforce the C Major tonic throughout the primary sections.
- Utilizes secondary dominants A7 (V/ii) and D7 (V/V) to provide chromatic momentum and smooth voice-leading toward the supertonic and dominant degrees.
- Features a brief shift to a ii-V in Bb Major (Cm7-F7), functioning as a modal interchange that momentarily explores the parallel minor/bVII tonal area.
Improvisation Focus C Major Bebop scale with a focus on chord-tone targeting to navigate the secondary dominants.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The harmonic rhythm is consistent and the modulations are brief, making it highly accessible for musicians familiar with basic functional jazz harmony.
