This is the first in my series of Jazz Standard Analyses.

When I was starting to learn jazz I would have loved a resource like this that explained the harmonic function and most consonant scale usage of a jazz standard. It’s important also when learning such a tune to learn the melody and how it relates to both the key and the chord that it’s being played over.

All of the resources on my website are made for free and they do take considerable time & effort.

If you’ve enjoyed this lesson then please do consider donating (no matter how little) as a means of support or you can Buy Me A Coffee here .

Or you could buy my comprehensive yet very reasonably priced ($6.99) books on the CAGED System and/or THE MUSIC THEORY MANUAL: BEYOND DIATONIC HARMONY via these links or in my Store at the top of this page where you can also read previews of both books. Thanks so much, James.
