SWEET AND LOVELY - Free Jazz Leadsheet
sweet and lovely, composed by Gus Arnheim, Charles N. Daniels, and Harry Tobias in 1931, is a jazz standard celebrated for its elegant melody and romantic charm. Its flowing phrasing and harmonic richness make it suitable for both vocal and instrumental interpretation.
Popularized by Bing Crosby and later recorded by artists like Billie Holiday, the tune became a staple in swing and ballad repertoires.
The composition typically follows a 32-bar AABA form, offering performers space for expressive improvisation while retaining its sweet, lyrical character.
