- Utilizes a foundational I–VI7–ii7 sequence (C6–A7–Dm7), where the secondary dominant A7 provides forward harmonic momentum toward the supertonic.
- Incorporates a “back-door” ii–V progression (Fm7–Bb7) acting as a subdominant minor substitution that creates chromatic tension before resolving to the mediant (Em7).
- The bridge features rapid sequential modulations, cycling through ii–V–I progressions in E major and G major, shifting the tonal center by major seconds.
Improvisation Focus Chord tone targeting and smooth voice leading through sequential ii–V cycles.
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate); while the A sections utilize standard swing vocabulary, the bridge requires precise navigation of rapid, shifting tonal centers.
