ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE - Free Jazz Leadsheet
Composed by Frederick Loewe with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner in 1956 for the Broadway musical My Fair Lady, “On the Street Where You Live” became a popular ballad cherished for its romantic sentiment.
The original cast recording featured John Michael King, conveying the song’s yearning quality. Jazz artists later adapted the piece for both vocal and instrumental settings, exploring its lyrical harmonies.
It generally follows a 32-bar AABA format, with long, expressive melodic lines suited for improvisation and phrasing variations.
