- Employs a chromatic descending turnaround (Am7–Ab°7–Gm7) where the diminished chord acts as a passing chord to the ii7.
- Utilizes a secondary dominant ii-V (Cm7–F7) to tonicize the IV chord (Bb6), a hallmark of swing-era song forms.
- Features a II7 (G7) secondary dominant, creating a strong circle-of-fifths resolution toward the dominant Gm7–C7.
- The structure follows a standard AABA 32-bar form, relying heavily on functional ii-V-I resolutions in F major.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale (incorporating the chromatic passing tone between C and D).
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The harmonic rhythm is predictable and the modulations are limited to closely related keys, making it accessible for developing soloists.
