Harmony/Overview:

The first 8 bars are centered entirely around a II  - V - I, and the B section continues with a II -V of IV, then a II - V of bIII before returning back to the main theme once again. The head  features an arrangement that revolves around 3 beat figures (dotted  quarter notes) and the entire band often catches the orchestrated shots.
