“There Will Never Be Another You” is a popular jazz standard composed by Harry Warren, with lyrics written by Mack Gordon. The song was first introduced in the 1942 film “Iceland”. It’s considered one of the most popular songs of the 1940s and it’s considered a classic jazz standard.
The song is characterized by its melodic and harmonic structure, and its romantic and emotional lyrics.
In this lesson we compare the versions by Lester Young, Stan Getz and Sonny Rollins. We study the melodic and harmonic analysis, the do solfege, the magic formula, the color notes, the chords scales and the triads. Finally we discuss how we can use ideas from the song’s melody into our improvisation.
In addition, we have a detailed analysis of the solos by Lester Young, Stan Getz, Sonny Stitt, Woody Shaw, Kenny Garrett.

Hi Noah,
I’m very happy to meet chromatic harmonica lovers in the JVL tribe, thanks ! Gregoire Maret is a great harmonica player, his recent record with Edmar Castaneda is amazing …
I agree with you one of the hardest thing for me, as beginner/intermediate player is to anticipate the next change with a good interesting rhythm, but I’m confident to work and progress thanks to Alex’s judicious advices !
Wow, I did not know of this album, I will have to get it. I have seen Edmar several times, and he is absolutely incredible!
Some of us find the sax more torturous! Julien, absolutely loving the chromatic harmonica – check out Gregoire Maret when you have a chance (Alex can back me up on that). As for the etude, this is a brilliant example of what Alex is talking about: I think the hardest thing for us, as beginner/intermediate players, is to move away from being “root bound”. Notice how he anticipates the next change, even with just triads, and how the rhythm makes the line interesting, even though there aren’t a lot of notes. And there is still voice leading, even without the 7ths.
Alright gang, here is my attempt with this instrument of torture aka the flute.
I played the etude and then improvised one chorus using ONLY the basic triads.
Being creative inside limitations!
Salut les aminches !
(it means “hello the tribe” in French)
Thanks to great ideas of Alex, I have a lot of fun trying to play “There’ll never be another you” rubato, without any tempo, just practising and trying to listen to me, my harmonica and my uke !!
here is the video :
Hope you’ll enjoy,
Julien
