Bridge (music)

A bridge in popular music is a form of musical notes contrasting with one another.

The ragtime progression (E7-A7-D7-G7) often appears in the bridge of jazz standards (Play ).^[1] The III7-VI7-II7-V7 (or V7/V/V/V - V7/V/V - V7/V - V7) circle progression leads back to C major (I) but is itself indefinite in key.
