JIVE AT FIVE - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Count Basie and Harry Edison in 1939, "jive at five" is a swing-era instrumental known for its infectious rhythm and bluesy melody. Its concise form encourages improvisation and solo interplay.

Recordings by the Count Basie Orchestra emphasized tight ensemble work, call-and-response, and solo features.

The tune remains a classic example of Basie-style swing, popular in both historical study and performance.
