Alone Together is a ballad with music by Arthur Schwartz and lyrics by Howard Dietz. It was introduced on Broadway by Jean Sargent in the musical Flying Colors in 1932. Leo Reisman and His Orchestra, with a vocal by Frank Luther, recorded it in September 1932, and that recording was the first to reach the charts. The song has since become a jazz standard, usually played at a medium tempo. It is written in D minor, in 4/4 time, and is commonly marked Ballad at 100 beats per minute. Artie Shaw was the first jazz musician to record it, in 1939, and he also used it in his 1941 short film Swing Symphonies. Later versions include Miles Davis's recording on Blue Moods (1955), Chet Baker's (1959), Tony Bennett's 1960 album of the same name, and Paul Desmond with Jim Hall (1963). Other singers who recorded it include Jo Stafford, Margaret Whiting, Julie London, Judy Garland and Barry Manilow.
