John Wheatcroft
Cycle Of 4ths

So far, we’ve looked at a selection of chord progressions that form the basis for hundreds of jazz compositions. We’ve examined the power of V7-I motion for intros or outros; Major and Minor blues sequences, with their I to IV and V-I resolutions; the II-V-I in both Major and Minor forms; and, just last month,‘Rhythm’ changes, with its III7-VI7-II7-V7 I bridge. All these sequences resolve on a perfect 4th.
