FASCINATING RHYTHM - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"fascinating rhythm" was composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin in 1924. Its lively syncopation and playful melody make it a perennial favorite on bandstands.

The first recording was by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra, emphasizing the rhythmic drive and swing potential. Subsequent jazz recordings, both instrumental and vocal, have continued to explore its energy.

The composition follows a 32-bar form with intricate rhythms and melodic hooks, offering opportunities for both ensemble interplay and solo improvisation.
