- Incorporates a ii-V (Cm7–F7) in bar 4 to create a strong tonicization of the IV chord (Bb7).
- Employs a B°7 (#IV diminished) in bar 6, facilitating smooth chromatic voice-leading back to the tonic F7.
- Features a sophisticated turnaround using sequential ii-V progressions (Am7–D7 to Gm7–C7), replacing standard blues movements with bebop-style functional harmony.
Improvisation Focus F Mixolydian combined with the F Blues scale to navigate the major-to-minor third tension inherent in dominant 7th blues.
Difficulty Rating 2/5 - While the turnaround moves quickly, the structure remains a predictable 12-bar blues utilizing standard jazz vocabulary and clear ii-V patterns.
