“What Is This Thing Called Love?” is a tune written by Cole Porter in 1929 for the musical “Wake Up and Dream.” The song eventually became a popular jazz standard and one of Porter’s most famous works. Later musicians began composing tunes based from these chord changes such as Tadd Dameron’s “Hot House”, made famous by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. This tune is most commonly played in the key of C major.

The changes fit perfect to the Bebob tune Hot House. A bit complicate theme, this melodie enrich the tune to a highlight for every session you play on stage.
This is a great tune that will help you get further in your jazz learning journey. I am spending a lot of time on it exclusively, and it is challenging!
