More about this title

Why we love this

This classic jazz standard gives pianists a chance to work with chord changes that sound far more sophisticated than they actually are. The melody sits comfortably for singers while remaining playful enough that pianists can explore voicings and comping patterns without getting bogged down in technical difficulty.

What to expect

Bright and affectionate, with the kind of melodic directness that made this tune a favorite across generations. The harmonic movement is warm without being cloying, creating space for both players to express personality while staying rooted in genuine jazz tradition.

Who it's for

Pianists and singers working in jazz combos, vocal jazz ensembles, or cabaret settings will find this standard immediately accessible. It works equally well for intermediate pianists building their jazz vocabulary and for vocalists developing control over jazz phrasing and swing interpretation.

How to get the most out of it

  • Treat the chord symbols as a launching point rather than a prescription. Experiment with different voicings on each pass through the form to keep the accompaniment fresh and conversational.
  • Lock into a relaxed swing feel. Rushing the eighth notes will drain the song of its charm and undermine the lyrical ease of the melody.
  • If performing as a duo, establish clear communication about when the pianist will comp actively and when they'll pull back to support the vocalist's phrasing.

How to use it

Include this in a jazz cabaret concert alongside other standards from the Great American Songbook. It works beautifully as a lighter moment between more complex or serious pieces, and its popularity means audiences will connect immediately with the material.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and interpreting chord symbols in a jazz context
  • Swing eighth-note phrasing and rhythmic feel
  • Voice leading in jazz piano comping
  • Balancing accompaniment with vocal support
  • Understanding standard jazz song form and structure
