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]

Perhaps the most beautiful ballad ever written. Sublime!

Hey, let's not forget these exquisite lyrics by none other than Oscar Hammerstein III.

I have tears in my eyes. So beautiful. The voice, the voices. Touched my heart. A voice from Heaven, a chorus of angels.

Not usually a fan of high tenors on this sort of ballad, but I have to admit this was the " Exception that creates the rule " !! Exquisite !

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.

[sylvestermarino]

Just a lovely rendition of my favorite song. Azi has a wonderful voice that soars on this song.

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.
