Harmonic Highlights:
- Features a quintessential V7-I7 progression (F7-Bb7) where the tonic chord is a dominant 7th, imbuing the Bb major key with a strong blues and swing characteristic.
- Employs functional harmony with frequent secondary dominant chords (e.g., G7-Cm, C7-F7), creating clear, strong resolutions back to the primary V7-I7.
- Chord movements are generally diatonic within the Bb major tonality, emphasizing strong dominant-tonic relationships without complex modulations.
Improvisation Focus: The consistent application of the Mixolydian mode over all dominant 7th chords, including the tonic, to capture its signature swing feel.
Difficulty Rating: 2 (Beginner-Intermediate). The predictable functional harmony and clear V7-I7 structure make it accessible, though understanding the dominant 7th tonic requires awareness.
