- Utilizes a standard 12-bar blues framework centered in C, utilizing dominant extensions for the I and IV chords.
- Features a sophisticated turnaround in measure 8 (Em7 to Ab7b9), acting as a tritone substitution or a chromatic approach to the Dm7 (ii) chord.
- Employs rapid, cyclic ii-V sequences (Dm7 - G7) in the final four bars to drive strong resolution back to the tonic.
Improvisation Focus The C Dominant Bebop scale (C-D-E-F-G-A-Bb-B) for seamless navigation through the blues changes and chromatic passing tones.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: While the blues form is accessible, the chromatic substitutions and typical high bebop tempo require precise voice leading and technical proficiency.
