Songs That Make Frequent Use of Major and Minor Jazz Patterns Here are some suggestions for standards that are mostly made up of major and minor jazz patterns (ii-V-I’s) There are many hundreds of others. Once you understand how to use jazz patterns it makes learning songs much easier. That Old Feeling All the Things You Are Autumn Leaves A Foggy Day Misty S’Wonderful I’m In the Mood for Love Love Walked Right In I Remember You Our Love Is Here to Stay I’ll Remember April Have You Met Miss Jones What’s New? Summer Wind Moonlight In Vermont Shiny Stockings Laura There Will Never Be Another You When Sunny Gets Blue Our Day Will Come For Sentimental Reasons Tangerine Stella By Starlight Just Friends Satin Doll It Could Happen To You I Wish You Love How High the Moon East of the Sun Gone With the Wind Out of Nowhere Dearly Beloved Everything Happens to Me Green Dolphin Street All the Way Cherokee I Cover the Waterfront The Song Is You Ghost of a Chance Honeysuckle Rose The Days of Wine and Roses Lover Teach Me Tonight The Shadow of Your Smile You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To Black Orpheus Theme I’ve Got You Under My Skin Tea for Two I Get a Kick Out of You Tenderly I Love You (Cole Porter) Time After Time What Is This Thing Called Love? What’s New And many, many more...! ii-V-I patterns easier on guitar and ukulele Learning and getting facile with the jazz patterns takes a lot of practice on the piano. Every key on the piano requires learning different fingering. They are much easier to make on the guitar because every pattern uses the exact same set of hand positions, they just move from place to place on the guitar neck. They are much easier to make and play on the ukulele. The small instrument offers very little resistance on the hand and fingers comapered to the guitar. You can have fun singing and playing standards pretty quickly on the little instrument and get an understanding of how they will sound when you conquor them on the piano. I offer books for both instruments should you ever be interested. (below) www.jazzypiano.net www.jazzyukulele.com www.gatewaytojazz.com (guitar).

DO IT AGAIN: SEQUENCES IN GERSHWIN AND KERN’S POPULAR SONGS MAXWELL RAMAGE mericans George Gershwin (1898–1937) and Jerome Kern (1885–1945) both A succeeded as Broadway composers but began as “song pluggers” on New York’s Tin Pan Alley.1 Their popular-song output, however, was far from hackwork; indeed, their chromatically inflected, extended tertian harmonies enriched the expressive palette available to song composers at large.2 Gershwin and Kern seem to have influenced one another: Gershwin idolized the elder composer3 and stated that his early songs “paid [Kern] the tribute of frank imitation.”4 Conversely, Howard Pollack hears in Kern’s song “Whip-Poor-Will,” for example, suggestions of Gershwin’s “From Now On.”5 In view of the special regard in which Gershwin held Kern, I will compare and contrast their popular songs.

Thomas Allen: September Songs
THOMAS ALLEN: SEPTEMBER SONGS with Lucy Crowe soprano Stephen Higgins piano FOREWORD What is it, do you suppose, about the ‘Great American Songbook’ that still has There is a fascinating history of opera singers crossing such allure and fascination? This period of intensive music writing, during the the Great White Way from New York’s golden age of Broadway and Hollywood, with its melodic beauty, lyrical Metropolitan Opera down 42nd Street to inventiveness and emotional directness has, to many of us, never been equalled. the bright lights of Broadway. This is our It may seem madness to add to the plethora of recorded versions of this fertile choice of music that reflects a journey repertoire – but the passion and enthusiasm that both of us share for this music, along that same path. So enjoy this along with our wish to record it with a sense of intimacy, simplicity and direct small selection from one of the most communication has resulted in this disc. It is our feeling that these songs are, at inventive periods in songwriting of the their best, able to stand alongside the great output of lieder writers such as last century. As Weill’s ‘September Schubert, or mélodie composers like Duparc and Fauré. To hear the masterworks Song’ suggests – it will be a of Kern, Gershwin, Weill and the many other composers making up this disc, guaranteed ‘plentiful waste of time’! without the swinging horns or swooping strings of a Sinatra-style big band, no bass, no drums – simply voice and piano – is to assess them afresh, with the directness that such an intimate duo can provide.

SJS Sing with Mary Ann East V2.Pdf
SJS Sing Along Word Sheet July 13 Love Songs When I Fall in Love When I fall in love it will be forever, or I’ll never fall in love. In a restless world like this is, love is ended before it’s begun, and too many moonlight kisses seem to cool in the warmth of the sun. When I give my heart it will be completely, or I’ll never give my heart; And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too is when I fall in love with you. Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man Oh, listen sister, I love that mister man And I can’t tell you why. There ain’t no reason why I should love that man. It must be somethin’ the angels done plan. Fish got to swim, birds got to fly, I got to love one man till I die, Can’t help lovin’ that man of mine. Tell me he’s lazy, tell me he’s slow, Tell me I’m crazy, maybe I know. Can’t help lovin’ that man of mine. When he’s goes away, that’s a rainy day, And when he comes back, that day is fine! The sun will shine! He can come home as late as can be, home without him is no home to me. Can’t help lovin’ that man of mine! Somebody Loves Me Somebody love me, I wonder who, I wonder who it can be. Somebody loves me, I wish I knew who it can be worries me.

George grew up close to the Yiddish Theatre and even appeared on stage as an extra. In 1908, his parents bought a piano for his elder brother, Ira, to have lessons but it was George who took to it. In 1928, Gershwin visited Paris and asked to study with Maurice Ravel. Learning how much Gershwin earned, Ravel famously replied; "You should give me lessons." Ira Gershwin described his brother in a 1961 Canadian radio broadcast: “In person my brother was a good deal like his music: vibrant, dynamic and honest, and, if I may, charming. He was full of life and lived a full day. Although most of it was devoted to the piano and his music, it was a continual source of amazement to me that he found time to engage in so many other activities.
