OOP BOP SH'BAM - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Dizzy Gillespie in 1947, “Oop Bop Sh’Bam” is a bebop classic exemplifying the genre’s fast-paced, complex harmonic and rhythmic structures.

Gillespie’s recording with his quintet featured intricate horn lines, syncopated rhythms, and improvisation over a 32-bar form. The piece showcases the virtuosic, energetic style of early bebop.

Its influence continues in modern jazz, serving as a model for bebop phrasing and ensemble interaction.
