AIN'T SHE SWEET - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Milton Ager with lyrics by Jack Yellen in 1927, 'Ain’t She Sweet' was first recorded by Ben Bernie and His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra in New York, capturing the upbeat, catchy melody that would make it a dance favorite.

The song has been revived by jazz and pop artists, including iconic swing bands, appreciated for its playful, flirtatious lyrics and singable tune. The lyrics celebrate admiration for a charming romantic interest.

Musically, it follows a 32-bar AABA structure, with a lively tempo and clear melodic contours that support both ensemble arrangements and vocal improvisation.
