A Jazz Turnaround
I – vi – ii – V progression in A major
A Jazz Turnaround — I – vi – ii – V
The A I–vi–ii–V turnaround (A – F#m – Bm – E) is the classic jazz cycle that propels harmony through the circle of fourths. Each chord flows naturally to the next. With seventh chords (AMaj7 – F#m7 – Bm7 – E7), it becomes the standard jazz turnaround.
