If you were ever looking for a "super jazz standard" that packed all of the main harmonic elements of jazz all at once it would be this one:
All The Things You Are.
It's one of those songs that every hour of time you put into it gives you exponential benefits because it translates to almost every other jazz standard.
Not only that, ATTYA is kinda like a workout.
It cycles through 5 different keys. Forget about working about practicing in all 12 keys as it commonly recommended in the jazz world - just work on ATTYA and you're learning how to cycle keys, navigate important chord progressions, and improve your technique exponentially.
On top of all of this, ATTYA is a staple song in the jazz jam session repertoire. You can't get away with not knowing it if your goal is to play with other musicians.
So to help you learn, navigate, and understand this song, I'm sharing with you a free lesson that will help you go deeper.
BTW, one of the best ways to get great at playing jazz is simply to learn more songs, which is exactly what we do in our Learn Jazz Standards Inner Circle.
We learn new jazz standards every single month, and you get access to all of our jazz courses, and our community of musicians who are all practicing and working towards the same goals.
If that sounds helpful to you, we'd love to have you come join us!
