I DON'T WANT TO WALK WITHOUT YOU - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Frank Loesser and Jule Styne in 1941, "i don't want to walk without you" is a poignant ballad reflecting devotion and longing during separation. Its lyrics convey emotional vulnerability and romantic steadfastness.

The first recording, by Harry James and His Orchestra featuring Helen Forrest in New York, 1942, emphasized lush orchestration and expressive vocal phrasing. Its 32-bar form allows for melodic ornamentation and interpretive nuance.

Subsequent recordings by jazz vocalists, orchestras, and solo instrumentalists highlighted its lyrical and harmonic sophistication, ensuring its continued popularity as a standard.
