- Built on the “Rhythm Changes” framework, utilizing a repetitive I-VI-ii-V turnaround (Bb-G7-Cm7-F7) to drive the A sections.
- The bridge (B section) follows a standard cycle of dominant sevenths (III7-VI7-II7-V7), moving through D7, G7, C7, and F7.
- The A section features a chromatic ascent (Bb7 to Eb7 to E°7), using the diminished chord as a passing bridge to the tonic inversion (Bb/F).
Improvisation Focus Bb Major Bebop scale and idiomatic guide-tone navigation through the circle of fifths.
Difficulty Rating 3/5 - While the harmonic vocabulary is foundational, the typical high-velocity performance tempo and Monk’s specific rhythmic displacements require advanced melodic precision.
