The "A" section of Dizzy Gilespie's "Woody 'n You" lends itself to interesting borrowed tone effects. In measure 1 I've used an F sharp from the diminished chord (Adim7) that links with B flat m6 to form the B flat minor 6 diminished scale, with interesting results. The sequence is repeated in bar 3.
