I'm all about learning jazz standards that are packed full of lessons that will help us with exponentially more jazz standards as a result.
And one of those jazz standards that really does a lot for helping us understand jazz harmony and jazz language and ultimately jazz improv, is All the Things You Are by Jerome Kern.
And while most of us are familiar with this jazz standard, understanding it and how the chords work is pivotal in my mind for becoming a great improviser over top of it.
So, that's what we are going to talk about in today's episode. We are going to do a chords analysis of the jazz standard All the Things You Are, dig in deep and see what we can learn from this tune.
