All the Things You Are (Jerome Kern)

This song is one of the most popular jazz standards of all time. We've recorded it in its complete form but with a new choral setting for the album Heritage. While most of my work is focused on Jewish liturgical music, it always gives me a sense of great pride singing popular hits by Jewish composers who played a critical role in shaping American popular culture in the 20th century. I hope you enjoy and share it with your loved ones.

Time and again I’ve longed for adventure
Something to make my heart beat the faster
What did I long for? I never really knew
Finding your love I’ve found my adventure
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is you
(Chorus)
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
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I’ll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
[Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, from
Very Warm for May, 1939]

[@robinampipparampil]

Beautiful! Thank you

[@lesterwyoung]

I'm a jazz saxophone player, yet never liked the up-tempo versions that most jazz players perform of this tune. (Ben Webster with Art Tatum is a notable exception.) It is, after all, a love song. This version is pretty much perfect. It moved me to tears.

[@deanasimms]

You are so right I love this song as a ballad rather keep it that way

[@thislittleshowofmine3240]

So accurate. Such a heartbreaking song - doesn’t need swing

[@zeldamudd]

Perfection!

[@brigitteoesterle662]

How wonderful! Thanks to everyone involved into this great project.

[@rgmrtn]

Sublime. '

[@margaretdavis2627]

This is astonishing. Absolutely perfect voices and arrangement for the song and style. So lovely it makes me weep.

[@nbgen]

Thank you so much for your gift to me of your book, it is great.

[@beckywauer2291]

I love this song.

[@joesoy9185]

A fast vibrato such as this is not my cup of tea, but I can imagine that some people will like it.

[@andrewhague1521]

What a performance - and that top C# at the end - sublime. It's a fantastic song of course, superbly crafted and this performance truly does it justice. Terrific arrangement by the way. The choir is wonderful too. The opening verse section that is so rarely heard is lovely and contextualises the song beautifully.

[@DavidBoycePiano]

I agree about the ending C# - it's earth-shattering!

[@rgmrtn]

Am downloading HERITAGE from Amazon now.

[@philzmusic8098]

Jerome Kern was the Franz Schubert of popular American song.

[@daphneb1592]

Was?

[@yomikosburger]

Rick Beato sent me here on account of similarities between this song and Sergio Mendes' "Never Gonna Let You", and the comparison is absolutely spot on.

Oscar Hammerstein II wrote the poetry that is the lyrics.
