(Sinatra): From Come Dance With Me!

Written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, for the musical Music in the Air (1932).

The first two bars set up the sweetness of this tune: CMaj7 to Eb°7. The rest of the song revolves around a typical iii-vi-ii-V-I progression, but that diminished chord!

Sinatra and Jarrett. Doesn't get any better.
