How High the Moon is a jazz standard with lyrics by Nancy Hamilton and music by Morgan Lewis. It was first featured in the 1940 Broadway revue Two for the Show, where it was sung by Alfred Drake and Frances Comstock. In Two for the Show, this was a rare serious moment in an otherwise humorous revue. This contemporary version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in many of our arrangements. Play it as-is or make it your own - your call! Have fun with it - we did!
