hierarchical_section_title: V–IV–I turnaround
caption_attribution_description: English: Jazz-blues turnaround: I-VI-ii-V7.
context_page_description: In music, the V–IV–I turnaround, or blues turnaround, is one of several cadential patterns traditionally found in the twelve-bar blues, and commonly found in rock and roll.
  The cadence moves from the tonic to dominant, to subdominant, and back to the tonic. "In a blues in A, the turnaround will consist of the chords E⁷, D⁷, A⁷, E⁷ [V–IV–I–V]." V may be used in the last measure rather than I since, "nearly all blues tunes have more than one chorus, the turnaround usually ends on V, which makes us feel like we need to hear I again, thus bringing us around to the top of the form again.".
  The blues turnaround may be "dress[ed] up" by using V aug instead of V⁷, "adding a touch of jazzy sophistication." An important variation is the jazz influenced turnaround ii–V–I–V.

V may be used in the last measure rather than I since, "nearly all blues tunes have more than one chorus (occurrence of the 12-bar progression), the turnaround (last four bars) usually ends on V, which makes us feel like we need to hear I again, thus bringing us around to the top (beginning) of the form again.".
  The blues turnaround may be "dress[ed] up" by using V aug Play  ("an uptown V⁷") instead of V⁷ Play , "adding a touch of jazzy sophistication." An important variation is the jazz influenced turnaround ii–V–I–V.
caption: "The stock jazz-blues turnaround [I7–VI7–ii7–V7]. More specifically the I–VI–ii–V7 turnaround that can be found in jazz and many non-jazz styles. If there is one turnaround...that has to become second nature, this is it."[2] About this soundPlay (help·info).
