This is a complete transcription of the vocal and double bass parts of “All The Things You Are”, as recorded by singer Tony Martin …and this is not just any recording: The song was originally written for the Broadway musical Very Warm for May, which premiered in November 1939, and since this single was recorded in December 1939, this was probably the very first time the song was recorded with a singer and presented as a song in its own right (in the key of A Major). This gives a certain original status to the melody and chords here that vary notably from the canonized transcription in the fake books and, later, in The Real Book, all in the brass-friendly key of A♭ Major; in other words, this sheet here probably is close to what composer Jerome Kern originally had in mind. In conforming to the canonized key, however, I have added a bonus vocal score transposed to A♭ Major as well. Enjoy!
