WEE-DOT - Free Jazz Leadsheet

“wee-dot” is a bebop composition by J.J. Johnson and Gil Fuller, first published around 1947. It became part of the bebop repertoire during the 1940s.

The earliest recording was by J.J. Johnson’s own group in the late 1940s. The tune has been performed by many jazz musicians over the years.

Musically, it features a fast, angular melody and syncopated lines characteristic of bebop. The head-solo-head structure allows for extensive improvisation.
