Some notes about the composition as found on
https://www.jazzguitarcomprehensive.com/

Composer: Charlie Parker

Year: 1949

Origin: First recorded on a session for Mercury Records.

Style: Swing, usually played at an up tempo.

Form: A-A-B-A (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8]

Key: Bb minor

Harmony/Overview:  The harmony of this composition is very functional. The A sections are centered around the relative minor, using various turnarounds to generate movement back to Imi. The bridge begins with a II - V of IVMaj7 and finishes with a II - V to the relative Major.

Recordings: This is by no means one of Charlie Parker's most widely known compositions, it has only been recorded around 50 times to date. Charlie Parker first recorded it on a session for Mercury records in 1949. On the original date there was some confusion on behalf of the label regarding song titles, and as a result this tune is also sometimes referred to as "Diverse".
