This is a scale exercise for the chord changes based on the jazz standard, “All of Me.”
All of Me
“All of Me” is a jazz standard written in 1931 by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons. The song became an immediate hit, blending playful lyrics with a melody that easily adapts to both vocal and instrumental performances.
It has been recorded by countless artists, including Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and Frank Sinatra. The song’s structure allows for improvisation, which has made it a favorite among jazz musicians for nearly a century. Each performer often adds subtle personal touches, keeping the tune lively and engaging through the decades.
