The initial theme takes place over a series of descending II-V-I's before arriving at bVIMaj7 in the B sections. The harmony of this tune would go on to serve as the basis for compositions such as Charlie Parker’s “Ornithology” and John Coltrane’s “Satellite”.

The tune has become synonymous with Ella Fitzgerald as she would use it as a show piece for countless live performances in her career.
