ANYTHING GOES - Free Jazz Leadsheet

'Anything Goes,' written by Cole Porter in 1934 for his musical of the same name, debuted on Broadway and was first recorded by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra. Its witty, playful lyrics reflect the era's social and cultural exuberance.

Subsequent interpretations by Ella Fitzgerald and others have maintained its popularity in jazz and theatre repertoires. The lyrics celebrate freedom, indulgence, and social satire.

The melody is bright and syncopated, structured in 32-bar AABA form, lending itself to lyrical performance and improvisation over harmonic variations.
