I figured out the polychords in this jazz ii-V-I turnaround in Eb Major.
Nice 3+3 voicings. You would hear this on a jazz Christmas record very often.
Turnaround is Fm7>Bb7>Eb
Spice it up to Fm13>Bb7b9#11/13>Eb 6/9
If you use a polychord synonym, you get:
Gm/Fm7>G7/B7>Bb5/Cm
Useful? Maybe.

Painful to see as a White Sox fan. I'm happy for Crochett, but it's a reminder that we can't have nice things. Ugh.
If White Sox draft a great player, we have to ship him to another team. The business model requires mediocrity, not greatness. Soon to change let's hope.

"Old Western Saloon" in Point Reyes Station was built in the late 19th century but was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The tavern was rebuilt in 1914 and still hosts live music and serves drinks to this day.
