AT SUNDOWN - Free Jazz Leadsheet

'At Sundown,' composed by Walter Donaldson in 1927, was first recorded by Paul Whiteman’s Orchestra, capturing the warm, lyrical quality of the melody. The song evokes reflection and romantic longing as evening falls.

Subsequent recordings in jazz and pop reinforced its popularity. The lyrics convey introspection and romantic narrative.

Musically, it uses a 32-bar AABA structure with opportunities for improvisation and expressive phrasing, making it suitable for both instrumental and vocal renditions.
