JUNE NIGHT - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Abel Baer and Cliff Friend in 1924, "June Night" is a romantic ballad adapted into jazz with elegant phrasing and harmonic flexibility. Its lyrical melody makes it a favorite for expressive improvisation.

Recordings by artists such as Benny Goodman and vocalists emphasize melodic nuance, swing feel, and interpretive phrasing.

The piece remains a standard for both instrumentalists and singers exploring early jazz ballad repertoire.
