GIVE ME YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER - Free Jazz Leadsheet

give me your telephone number was composed by Hughie Prince with lyrics by Saul Chaplin in 1938. Its catchy melody and playful lyrics made it an appealing piece for both vocalists and instrumental ensembles.

The first recording was by the Benny Goodman Orchestra in New York City in 1938, featuring swing-infused phrasing and rhythmic vitality. The tune follows a 32-bar AABA structure with clear melodic lines and space for improvisation.

Later recordings by jazz vocalists and swing bands kept it popular. Lyrically, it humorously expresses the pursuit of romance, using lighthearted wit and engaging musical phrasing.
