Analysis and solos

There Will Never Be Another You is one of my favorite jazz standards. I love the melody and the chord changes are easy, but not too easy to improvise over. The song was first recorded in 1942 by clarinetist Woody Herman but wasn’t very well known until Chet Baker recorded his vocal rendition in 1954.

To help you get this tune under your fingers this lesson will introduce you to the theme and takes you through a voice leading study, a scale study, a chord comping study, and an arpeggio study.
