Have you ever been checking out a jazz standard and saw something like Cmaj7-A7-Dmin7-G7, and thought to yourself "I thought the vi chord (A7) is supposed to be minor?"

Well, you would be right. But in cases like this, you are experiencing the use of something called a "Secondary Dominant" in the music theory world.

In this video, I explain what a secondary dominant is and how it works. We use the jazz standards All of Me, to help us out.
