BILLIE'S BOUNCE - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Charlie Parker in 1945, "Billie's Bounce" was first recorded by Parker with his quintet in New York City, featuring Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet.

The piece has since become a bebop standard, performed by countless jazz musicians, often as a vehicle for improvisation and harmonic exploration.

As an instrumental, it uses a 12-bar blues form with Parker's signature bebop lines, syncopation, and chromatic passing tones, exemplifying the complexity and swing of mid-1940s jazz.
