AH-LEU-CHA - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Charlie Parker in 1947, 'Ah-Leu-Cha' was first recorded by Parker’s quintet in New York, exemplifying the bebop style with fast-paced lines, intricate harmonies, and driving rhythm.

The tune has been frequently revisited by modern jazz ensembles and soloists, serving as a challenging and rewarding piece for improvisation. It features a playful and energetic feel, with the title itself reflecting the rhythmic and melodic complexity of the composition.

The piece is structured as a 32-bar AABA form with bebop-era chord changes, demanding technical precision and melodic inventiveness from performers.
