More about this title

About the Composer: Bob Haymes

Bob Haymes composed "That's All" during the 1950s, a songwriting era that valued accessible melodies paired with sophisticated harmonic language. His work found homes across multiple idioms, from pop standards to jazz interpretations, reflecting a composer comfortable writing for both commercial appeal and musical substance.

Haymes understood the balance between singability and musical interest—a skill evident in how "That's All" sits naturally in the voice while offering ensemble players rewarding harmonic content. His compositions have become fixtures in jazz vocal programs where accessibility meets artistry.

Why we love this

Victor López's arrangement strips away complexity without sacrificing sophistication. The modest brass range and straightforward instrumental parts let directors focus on ensemble blend and vocal communication, while the ballad's 88 BPM tempo creates real interpretive space for a vocalist to shape phrases with maturity.

What to expect

A intimate, reflective ballad where the ensemble becomes the vocalist's partner rather than accompaniment. The modest arrangement and gentle tempo invite a mature emotional reading, creating a moment of genuine connection in a jazz set or concert.

Who it's for

Vocal soloists in a high school or college jazz ensemble who have developed basic performance presence but may lack extensive jazz experience. Directors building a jazz vocal program need material that doesn't require horn section virtuosity from their students yet still teaches ensemble listening and harmonic awareness.

How to get the most out of it

  • Build the ensemble sound from the rhythm section outward. With no horn solos, the piano, bass, and drums become the foundation for the vocalist's line; lock those relationships early in rehearsal.
  • Shape the vocal line in conversation with the ensemble colors. Even though the parts are easy, the ensemble voicings change throughout, and the vocalist should notice and respond to those shifts.
  • Treat ballad time with intention at 88 BPM. This tempo requires the vocalist to stay grounded rhythmically without rushing; have the band play several pass-throughs without vocals to establish the pocket.
  • Expose the modest brass range for its tonal qualities, not volume. Trumpets and trombones here are supporting the vocal story, so balance them carefully against the rhythm section.

How to use it

Program this as a centerpiece on a jazz concert or festival set to showcase vocal talent without overwhelming student soloists. Its 2:37 length and unhurried feel also make it effective in a mixed jazz repertoire program, offering a stylistic breath between up-tempo tunes.

Skills your students will build

  • Phrasing and interpretation in a jazz ballad context
  • Listening to ensemble harmony and responding as a soloist
  • Maintaining steady time at moderate tempo (88 BPM) without rushing
  • Ensemble blend and balance in a heterogeneous jazz ensemble
