PARISIAN THOROUGHFARE - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Bud Powell in 1951, “Parisian Thoroughfare” is a bebop tune with rapid tempos and intricate harmonic changes.

The melody is angular and syncopated, offering soloists a platform for virtuosic improvisation. Powell’s original recording set a standard for bebop piano technique.

It remains a key study piece for advanced jazz musicians.
