Boplicity (Be Bop Lives) is a jazz theme composed in 1957 by Miles Davis and Gil Evans for the album Birth of the Cool. It has 32 measures in the form AABA in the key of F major. Pay attention to the Fmaj7 chords that appear in the last measure of each "A" part, the melody presents the note B showing that this is a #11 chord, so when improvising it is interesting to use the Lydian mode of the major scale.
