STROLLIN' - Free Jazz Leadsheet

strollin', composed by Horace Silver in 1960, is a soulful, blues-inflected jazz standard with a relaxed, swinging groove. Its melodic simplicity and rhythmic flexibility make it a favorite for small ensembles and jam sessions.

The first recording appeared on Silver’s album "Horace-Scope," highlighting his signature piano style and compositional voice. Subsequent performances by jazz pianists and combos have kept it in the modern repertoire.

The composition uses a 16-bar blues form with melodic motifs that allow expressive improvisation and interaction among musicians.
