I'M MORE THAN SATISFIED - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Artie Shaw with lyrics by Johnny Mercer in 1943, "i'm more than satisfied" blends romantic lyricism with swing-era elegance. Its smooth melodic line and warm harmonies made it appealing to both vocalists and instrumentalists.

The first recording was by Artie Shaw and His Orchestra in New York in 1943, highlighting Shaw's signature orchestration and rhythmic refinement. Later recordings by vocalists such as Helen Forrest helped solidify its place in the jazz repertoire.

The lyrics celebrate deep contentment in love, while the musical structure features a 32-bar AABA form with harmonic sophistication, allowing for expressive phrasing and subtle improvisation.
