Alone Together

[Arthur Schwartz Howard Dietz]

“Alone Together” is a popular jam tune with a couple unusual twists: a 14-bar A section that gets shortened to 12-bars after the bridge and major/minor ambiguity. It’s a perfect fit for a swing, Bossa, or Latin Jazz - featured here - treatment. **FUN FACT**: Lyricist Howard Dietz worked as a marketing executive at MGM and was the one who originally conceived the roaring lion at the beginning of the studio’s movies.
