More about this title

About the Artist: Michael Feinstein

Michael Feinstein is a renowned interpreter of American popular song and the Great American Songbook, bringing decades of performance and recording experience to standards and classic vocal repertoire. His artistry has made him a trusted guide for singers and pianists seeking authentic, musically informed approaches to this essential repertoire.

Why we love this

This is the standard arrangement pianists and singers reach for when they want a clean, singable version of a jazz standard that respects both the melody and the harmonic language. Feinstein's vocal interpretation serves as a model for phrasing and interpretive choices, making this sheet music especially valuable for students learning how to approach classic material with sophistication.

What to expect

Warm and unhurried, with the gentle optimism of a standard that has endured because it speaks to something timeless about affection and presence. The harmonic sophistication invites performers to dig into each phrase and find their own voice within this beloved melody.

Who it's for

Singers developing a songbook repertoire and pianists who accompany vocalists. This arrangement works for intermediate to advanced performers studying jazz standards and classic American song.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to the harmonic movement beneath the melody; the chord symbols guide reharmonization choices that were central to how this song evolved across different recordings.
  • Balance vocal line independence from piano figuration. The accompaniment should support without overshadowing the singer's interpretation and breath.

How to use it

Pair this with other Gershwin standards in a concert celebrating American song, or use it as a solo recital feature for a singer developing jazz standard repertoire. It also serves as an excellent teaching score for understanding how chord symbols function in a vocal arrangement.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading chord symbols and understanding harmonic function in a jazz standard
  • Coordinating vocal phrasing with piano accompaniment
  • Interpreting rubato and expressive timing in American popular song
