STUMBLIN' - Free Jazz Leadsheet

stumblin', composed by Horace Silver in 1961, is a hard bop jazz composition with bluesy undertones and a relaxed groove. Its memorable melody and flexible rhythm make it a favorite for combo performances.

The first recording appeared on Silver’s album "Horace-Scope," exemplifying his melodic phrasing and rhythmic sensibility. Later interpretations by jazz pianists and ensembles have preserved its enduring appeal.

The piece is structured around a 16-bar blues form, allowing improvisation and interplay while maintaining a soulful and swinging character.
