I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Written by Alex Hill, Claude Hopkins, and Sammy Cahn in 1932, "i would do anything for you" was first recorded by Claude Hopkins’ Orchestra. Its blend of romantic devotion and melodic accessibility made it a favorite in early jazz circles.

The lyrics express unconditional love and dedication, paired with a swinging, 32-bar melodic structure that allows for both vocal and instrumental expression. Its harmonies provide space for improvisation while maintaining emotional clarity.

Later recordings by Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, and Ella Fitzgerald helped maintain the song’s presence in jazz repertoires, highlighting its warmth and versatility.
