CORCOVADO - Free Jazz Leadsheet
“corcovado,” also known as “quiet nights of quiet stars,” was composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim in 1960. The song is a cornerstone of the bossa nova style, combining gentle samba rhythms with sophisticated harmony.
Its soft, lyrical melody has made it a favorite for vocalists and instrumentalists alike. Jazz musicians often explore its chordal textures for improvisation in small-group settings.
