Jerome Kern’s “All the Things You Are” is a classic jazz standard that every musician learns at one point or another. That does not mean, however, that this tune is necessarily a walk in the park! Beginning in Ab and modulating through various keys, it takes you on quite a ride! The beginner version takes advantage of the 3rds and 7ths chord tones in the melody, and voices them with a familiar shape which can be used in a variety of settings.
In the Advanced arrangement of “All the Things You Are,” there is an addition of more colorful voicings, as well as a motivic use of passing tones and inner voices which return as a recurring theme. This gives the arrangement shape and definition with room for interpretation. Enjoy!
