- Employs a secondary dominant III7 (G7) to resolve to the relative minor (Cm), creating a poignant chromatic lift typical of Sammy Fain’s ballads.
- Features a standard VI7-ii-V (C7-Fm7-Bb7) cycle, providing a strong directional pull back to the tonic Eb major.
- Utilizes a ii-V7/IV (Bbm7-Eb7) to pivot temporarily into the subdominant (Ab major) during the bridge or transitional sections.
Improvisation Focus Chord Tone Soloing (Arpeggios) is essential for accurately outlining the frequent secondary dominant resolutions.
Difficulty Rating 2/5; the harmonic movement is predictable and follows standard functional jazz language, making it very accessible for intermediate players.
