Some notes about the composition as found on
[ Ссылка ]

Composer: Johnny Green

Lyricist: Edward Heyman

Year: 1931

Origin: Introduced by Bing Crosby on the Brunswick label in 1931.

Style: Usually played either straight or swung, taken at a wide variety of tempos.

Form: A-B1-A-B2 (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8]

Verse: A-B (16 Bars) [8-8]
Seldom played, Bing Crosby included it on his original 1931 recording. Ruth Etting’s vocal offering from the same year also features a straightforward rendition of the verse.

Key: Most commonly played in G Major.

Harmony/Overview: The majority of the song is very functional and consistent with other standards of its day. However, the constant arrival of bVI7 (or alternatively a II-V to bII), gives this song a distinct character that also provides a fresh harmonic framework to the soloist. The chord progression has served as the basis for many contrafacts such as “Casbah” by Tadd Dameron, “Nostalgia” by Fats Navarro, and “317 East 32nd Street” by Lennie Tristano to name a few.

Recordings: This song has been recorded over 280 times. Bing Crosby was the first to record it in 1931. Coleman Hawkins' 1937 recording featuring Django Reinhardt did much to popularize the tune, and dozens of live recordings from Charlie Parker further helped to legitimize it as a standard.
