In fact this is so typical of jazz tunes and this tune in particular it has it's own term, "Rhtyhm Changes" (as in the chord "changes" in "I Got Rhythm"). If you are familiar with the tune, start singing at the bridge.
The song starts in B-flat major with this progression.
Bb (I) / G (VI) / Cm (ii) / F (V) But the bridge modulates using the circle of fifths!
"Old man trouble" D7 (V7 of vi)
"I don't mind him" G7 (V7 of ii)
"You won't find him" C7 (V7 of V)
"'Round my door" F7 (V7)
This sort of motion is very common in popular standards.
More ReviewsI find it quite easy (so far!) to navigate, and found the "where do I start" to be very helpful! I'm getting there!!
I LOVE the forum, too. I've never been one to use forums, but the GT forum is full of great people and helpful information at ALL levels! Congrats on a WONDERFUL site!!
Good job!
