Jazz Transcript Authority (http://jazztranscriptauthority.blogsp...) has a chart that Miles wrote for “Shhh/Peaceful,” (http://jazztranscriptauthority.blogsp...) which have been intended as a sketch of the entire album. Few of the ideas on this chart made the final cut, but check out measures 28, 29 and 30: they show a simplified version of groove 2 from “It’s About That Time.”

I quote a passage from Daniel Grimley’s chapter on form in The Oxford Handbook of Critical Concepts in Music Theory (https://academic.oup.com/edited-volum...) .

A commenter on the last episode pointed me to this review by Martin Booth of every recording Miles Davis made in his first electric period (https://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Mil...) , it’s an excellent guide to this music.
