AU PRIVAVE - Free Jazz Leadsheet

'Au Privave,' composed by Charlie Parker in 1951, is a bebop standard first recorded in New York sessions with Parker on alto saxophone. Its melody reflects Parker’s inventive phrasing and complex harmonic approach.

Subsequent recordings by jazz greats have emphasized improvisational conversation and rhythmic drive. As an instrumental piece, it focuses on technical mastery and swing feel.

The tune uses a 32-bar AABA structure based on 'I Got Rhythm' changes, offering ample space for rapid, intricate improvisation.
