NEW ORLEANS SHUFFLE GRILLES - Free Jazz Leadsheet

“New Orleans Shuffle Grilles” is a classic New Orleans jazz tune with origins in the early 20th century. Its composer is not definitively recorded, reflecting the communal evolution of early jazz repertoire.

The song was performed by bands such as King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band and has been adapted by contemporary traditional jazz ensembles. Its structure features 16- and 32-bar sections, often alternating between melody and improvisation, and it emphasizes shuffle rhythms and collective ensemble interplay characteristic of early New Orleans jazz.
