I’m Old Fashioned

[Jerome Kern Johnny Mercer]

“I’m Old Fashioned” was composed for the 1942 film *You Were Never Lovelier* starring Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire – who did a dance routine during the song. The beauty of the song is how the two halves meet up (the second half is 4 bars longer than the first). Enjoy playing along with this classic swing version before checking out the Oscar Peterson Trio mixing it up with a big band.
