A ballad originally composed in 1953, our version draws mostly from the 1961 recording by Ella Fitzgerald.“Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” – The Andrews Sisters.
“Autumn Leaves” – Joseph Kosma & Johnny Mercer. A song originally written in 1941 for the musical film Sun Valley Serenade, At Last was famously popularized by a 1960 arrangement of the tune sung by Etta James. One of the most recorded jazz standard songs, All of Me is a timeless classic whose chart topping bars have been interpreted by Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald. “All of Me” – Gerald Marks & Seymour Simons. We have included brief summaries of the origin of several of our most frequently performed arrangements below. In order to acknowledge and honor the origins of this music, we make a point to research, discuss, and reflect on the culture and history behind all the songs we perform. Below is the list (divided by genre) of all the Keys’ arrangements. Gershwin Medley – “But Not For Me,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “Summertime,” and “I Got Rhythm”īecause of the number of arrangements we have accumulated over the years, our repertoire constantly changes from semester to semester as we select a subset of our arrangements to learn. “I Know I’m Not the Only One” by Sam Smith. “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Raitt. Beatles Medley – “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Eight Days a Week,” “Drive My Car,” “We Can Work It Out,” and “Strawberry Fields Forever”. Amy Winehouse Medley – “You Know I’m No Good,” “Some Unholy War,” and “He Can Only Hold Her”. 
“All of Me” by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons. However, because all of our music is arranged by members of the group, over the years we have branched out to perform a wide selection of pop, soul, R&B, folk, and even rock songs-with 98 arrangements and counting! From simple four-part arrangements to complex arrangements with as many as twelve parts, we seek to bring our energy and enjoyment to all of our performances. When the group was founded, the Higher Keys originally specialized in performing jazz standards.
