[Smt-talk] I-II-IV as a progression

Dear Colleagues,
there is a progression (typical to early jazz like in Earl Hines) #ivø  
- iv - I  (which presumably is a variation of IV - iv - I) where we  
also have a voice leading #4 - 4 - 3.
Is there any theoretical connection to the progression under  
discussion? On the one hand one could accept the #4 as a fundament of  
the (half-diminished) first chord. But on the other hand the  
connection would be more contiguous with a silently assumed 2 in the a  
fundament. And under this assumption we would end up close to  V/V -  
iv - I.
best wishes
Thomas Noll
