JUST FRIENDS - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Written by John Klenner and Sam M. Lewis in 1931, "Just Friends" became a jazz standard for its harmonically rich chord changes and lyrical melody. Its structure encourages inventive improvisation and expressive phrasing.

Recordings by Charlie Parker, Chet Baker, and others highlight melodic interpretation, harmonic exploration, and swing feel.

The tune remains a cornerstone of the jazz repertoire for both study and performance.
