hello ndbobandglenn!
  6:06pm Mr C:

"All the Things You Are" is one of the greatest American songs ever written. Standard of the highest order. Nice Doug
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:06pm Doug Schulkind:

Takes one to know one, Mr C!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:08pm Doug Schulkind:

From Wikipedia:

"The modulations in this song are very unusual for a pop song of the period, and present challenges to a singer or improviser, including a semitone modulation that ends each A section (these modulations start with measure 6 in the A and A2 sections and measure 9 of the A3 section), and a striking use of enharmonic substitution at the turnaround of the B section (last two measures of the B Section), where the G# melody note over a E major chord turns into an A-flat over the F minor 7th of measure 1 of section A3. The result is a tune that in the space of every chorus manages to include at least one chord built on every note of the Western 12-tone scale."

and this, too...

"In his appearance on Marian McPartland's "Piano Jazz", Stephen Sondheim marveled that the tonic of the song is never explicitly stated until the final chord."

And no, I will not be spinning Michael Jackson's version on this evening's broadcast.

Been hiding in the kitchen, but snuck out to ensure I had proper musical accompaniment!

All the Things You Are (cooking)
  6:11pm Mr C:

The Columbia Frank Sinatra version has a very sweet beauty to it.
  6:13pm Dean:

Surely we can update the title to "All the Things U R"?

Zillions of takes on this tune. How to represent them over the course of an hour? I think of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, naturally, but there's also a fun version with Michel Petrucciani and his dad.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:14pm Doug Schulkind:

Many credit Sinatra's version with catapulting the song into the firmament. Sinatra is responsible for "making" many standards.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 6:14pm Monica:

what mr. c said. and this baden powell version....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:15pm Doug Schulkind:

A Bill Evans version is on the cutting room floor, Dean. Any Jarrett version is surely indebted to Paul Bley's from 1963, which I will be playing.

M O N I C A!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:18pm Doug Schulkind:

I'm playing only instrumentals, but here are Oscar Hammerstein's lyrics:

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day Ill know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day Ill know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine.

Thought I was doing you a solid. Should I bring the cows back?
Avatar 6:35pm glenn:

naw. i just wanted to confuse future perusers of the comments.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:36pm coelacanth:

huh...and i was confused when i saw a glimpse of something about cows and a split second later nothing about cows.

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm listener james from westwood:

Once again, it must've been tough to select only one hour's worth. Ya did the tune justice, I sez.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:04pm Doug Schulkind:

One could go {gulp} years, Listener James. One of the most recorded songs in history.
  8:35pm Dean:

Checking in late after errands I had to run. The Bley didn't make it after all?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:36pm Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
It did. Bley is on piano on the Sonny Rollins version.
  12:10am Dean:

As you mentioned at the outset. As the kids say these days, "Duh." Thanks.
  11:46am Diane:

So happy to be able to listen to the archived shows!
