Does this jazz tune have a cyclical progression?

Does this jazz tune have a cyclical progression?

I don't have the best ear in the world, but I can't tell, because it doesn't seem like the chords are very distinct. Take something like Annie Lennox's version of "Summertime" - it's distinct enough that you can tell when the chords are definitely moving, but then again that's just piano and vocal. "Joe and Lol's Blues" seems like it MIGHT have a cyclical progression in places, but that could be the motifs in the melody. Can anyone help?

Who's the most "famous" actress that people seem to have never heard of?

Sounds like a contradiction, I know. But you know the type - insanely prolific, but only properly famous for one role, and even then it doesn't seem to have made her a household name. My pick would be Felicity Jones - fifteen leading film roles in 15 years, and all she's known for is "the Star Wars lady that isn't Princess Leia". Some stars are only meant to burn bright ever so briefly, but contrary to popular belief, Felicity did not disappear. Who else isn't "only in indie films", but just hasn't gotten her credit?

Yes, I went there. Don't get me wrong, I love the Before movies. Sunrise is great, Sunset just as brilliant, but... did Midnight really need to happen? There's realism, and then there's pessimism. Celine was a bit more jaded in Sunset, sure. And her outburst in the taxi did come out of nowhere, but it felt organic. In Midnight, her character is completely warped. Bitter and bitchy, and I can't help but reminded of what Jesse said about his parents, staying together "for the well-being of my sister and I". I honestly think that Sunset ended things perfectly, in a way that allowed viewers to imagine how Jesse and Celine's future went in their own heads.
