THE GIRLS GO CRAZY - Free Jazz Leadsheet
"The Girls Go Crazy" traces its roots to early New Orleans jazz and is generally associated with Clarence Williams, who published it in 1923. The first known recording was made that same year in New York by Clarence Williams’ Blue Five, featuring a small ensemble typical of early jazz studio groups.
The tune later appeared in traditional jazz revival recordings, valued for its energetic rhythm and playful lyrics that depict lively parties and social scenes. Musically, the piece aligns with early-jazz song form, using a repeated strain structure and ensemble interplay characteristic of the period.
