Just You, Just Me, Part 1: Chord Progression

The 1929 musical Marianne featured the song "Just You, Just Me,” composed by Jesse Greer with lyrics by Raymond Klages. Cliff “Ukulele Ike” Edwards had the first hit record with the tune that same year, and the melody has been a jazz and pop standard ever since, with hundreds of covers by the likes of Bing Crosby, Lester Young, Joe Pass, and Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand). In this video, Aaron lays out the chord progression to "Just You, Just Me.”
