Harmony/Overview: The harmony in the A sections is based on the changes to Fats Waller's "Honeysuckle Rose". Charlie Parker was rather fond of these changes, using them as the basis for several of his compositions such as "Ah-Leu-Cha" and "Marmaduke" to name a few. The bridge is identical to that of a rhythm changes, borrowed from George Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm". It begins on III7 and cycles through Dominant 7th's before returning back to the tonic.
