About the ii-V-I progression
The ii-V-I is the most common progression in jazz. It creates strong voice leading and satisfying tension-release: the ii chord tees up the dominant V, which then resolves cleanly to the tonic. Every jazz standard uses this movement in some form, and it appears briefly in countless pop songs too.
