Harmonic Highlights
- The progression features a characteristic ‘Rhythm Changes’ A section, including the Fmaj7-F7/A-Bbmaj7-B07 movement, where B07 functions as G#dim7 leading to A7.
- A robust cycle of dominant 7th chords (A7-D7-G7-C7) forms the bridge, rapidly modulating through V/ii, V/V, and V before returning to the ii-V of F.
- Frequent ii-V-I progressions (Gm7-C7-Fmaj7 implied) consistently establish and reinforce the F major tonality throughout the form.
Improvisation Focus Bebop scales and arpeggios, particularly over the rapid dominant cycles in the bridge.
Difficulty Rating 5 (Advanced) – The fast tempo, extensive chord changes, and rapid dominant cycling demand exceptional harmonic awareness and technical agility.
