ISN'T THIS A LOVELY DAY - Free Jazz Leadsheet
Composed by Irving Berlin in 1935, "isn't this a lovely day" is a cheerful, melodic jazz standard that celebrates romance and joy. Its memorable melody and flexible harmonies allow for both vocal and instrumental interpretation.
Fred Astaire’s original performance captured its elegance, while later jazz renditions emphasized swing rhythms, improvisation, and melodic decoration.
The tune combines lighthearted lyrics with musical sophistication, providing performers room for creative expression.
