    In jazz, a turnaround is a passage at the end of a section which leads to the next section. This next section is most often the repetition of the previous section or the entire piece or song. The turnaround may lead back to this section either harmonically, as a chord progression, or melodically. (Randel 2002, p.693)

    Typical turnarounds are:
      vi - ii - V - (I)
      V/ii - ii - V - (I)
      bIIIo7 - ii - V - (I)
      vi - bVI7
        11 - V - (I)

    When used in a twelve bar blues pattern, the twelfth bar may end on the dominant (ibid) rather than the more conventional tonic.
