- Employs a prominent backdoor dominant resolution (Bb7#11 to Cmaj7), substituting the standard G7 to provide a Lydian b7 color.
- Features a secondary dominant cycle (D7 to G7) that functions as a V/V to V progression, typical of early jazz and swing structures.
- Utilizes a significant modulation to E Major in the bridge, requiring a shift from the A minor/C Major landscape to a sharp-side tonal center via F#m7-B7-Emaj7.
- Incorporates chromatic passing diminished chords and dominant inversions (G7/F) to create smooth voice leading toward the E7 turnaround.
Improvisation Focus Chord tone targeting through the modulation to E Major, contrasting with the C Major/A Minor blues scale in the primary sections.
Difficulty Rating 3/5. The A sections are accessible, but the bridge’s modulation to E Major requires precise modal shifting and navigation of secondary dominants.
