- Employs a chromatic $Gb^{\circ}7$ passing chord to facilitate a smooth functional descent from $Gm7$ (iii) to $Fm7$ (ii) within the A section.
- The bridge shifts to the relative minor ($Gm$) using repetitive $ii-V-i$ sequences ($Am7b5$ - $D7b9$ - $Gm7$), demanding distinct minor-tonality navigation.
- Utilizes a $C7$ secondary dominant ($V/V$) to build tension for the turnaround back to the primary $Bb$ major tonic.
Improvisation Focus: Bb Major Bebop Scale and G Melodic Minor, emphasizing smooth voice-leading over the minor $ii-V$ transitions in the bridge.
Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). While the primary key is stable, the frequent minor-key modulations and chromatic passing chords require an intermediate understanding of tonal centers.
