NO MOON AT ALL - Free Jazz Leadsheet

“No Moon at All” was composed by David Mann with lyrics by Redd Evans in 1947. The song is a sophisticated jazz standard known for its playful lyrics and smooth harmonic progression.

The first recording was made by Doris Day in 1947, accompanied by a small jazz ensemble. The melody features clever rhythmic phrasing and a lyrical structure conducive to swing interpretation.

Later recordings by Miles Davis, Julie London, and Natalie Cole have highlighted both the vocal and instrumental possibilities of the tune. The lyrics humorously describe romantic disillusionment, matching the tune’s light yet elegant musical character.
