![]() So, the original harmony of the A section is really quite simple. And then in bar 8 there is an overrun to Ab7 (bVII7) which acts as a ‘backdoor’ dominant to Bb (I) to begin the B section. The third chord is Bb7 (V7/IV), also two bars and in bar 7, we arrive at Eb (IV). However, the second chord (bar 3) is F7 (V) and also lasts for two bars. It is also the same notes as bIII dim7 which beautifully voiceleads to a cadence home (II V I). It works particularly well here becasue the melody note (A) is the major 7 - a very pretty sound. This is a common sub for chord I in major keys and adds tension and I’ve written about that before. The first chord is Bb dim7 or chord I dim7 and lasts for two bars. The chords for each 8-bar section are all different. The tonic chord is not stated until bar 9. See the C section in particular.Īnd the harmony is more modern than most jazz standards.
