EASTER PARADE - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"easter parade" was composed by Irving Berlin in 1933. The song celebrates the festive, celebratory atmosphere of Easter, with lyrics painting a picture of parades and springtime cheer.

The first recording was by Leo Reisman and His Orchestra in New York, featuring a bright, swinging orchestral accompaniment. Subsequent recordings by Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, and jazz orchestras have kept the tune in the popular repertoire.

The composition uses a 32-bar AABA form with a memorable, singable melody, offering performers room for expressive interpretation and ensemble arrangements.
