Percy Heath implying a V chord before the change
I was looking at a transcription of Percy Heath's walking line on "Bag's Groove" from the 1957 Miles Davis version. I noticed that many times he seems to imply a V chord before the change. For example, in bar 2, you can see him play C and E just before the F7, even though these notes point to a C or C7 more than a Bb7. Also at the end of bar 4, he plays an F# and A just before the Gm7 chord, implying a D (or D7).
He does something similar here, again before the Gm7:
He does things like that throughout the song. A neat harmonic twist, in my opinion.
