I GOT RHYTHM - CARTOON - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin in 1930, "i got rhythm - cartoon" is an energetic, syncopated adaptation of the classic "i got rhythm" theme. Its playful, lively melody evokes excitement and rhythmic inventiveness.

The first recording, by Ethel Merman in New York, 1930, emphasized rhythmic clarity and vocal precision. The song’s chord progression provides a foundation for improvisation, particularly in jazz interpretations.

Later recordings and animated arrangements expanded its reach, highlighting its rhythmic drive and versatility for both vocal and instrumental performance.
