Jazz guitarist Vince Lewis continues his JGT Arrangement Series with one of his favorites, “These Foolish Things”.


“These Foolish Things” was first published in 1935 with music by Jack Strachey, and lyrics by Holt Marvell, the pseudonym of Eric Maschwitz.  Popular versions of it in the US were by Benny Goodman, Billie Holliday, and Ella Fitzgerald.  It has also been recorded by Nat Cole, Frank Sinatra, and many other proponents of The Great American Songbook.  The haunting melody and wonderful romantic lyrics make it a must-have standard in the collection of any Jazz Musician.
