All the Things You Are was written in 1939 by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II for the Broadway musical Very Warm for May. Although the show itself had a short run, the song quickly outlived its original context and became one of the central standards of the American songbook. Its shifting harmonic structure made it especially important to jazz musicians, and over time it has been recorded by artists including Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Keith Jarrett, reflecting its long life across vocal and instrumental jazz traditions. This performance is presented with voice and acoustic guitar. Song: All the Things You Are Written by: Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein II (1939) Performance: Jason Paul, voice & guitar
