SWEET GEORGIA BROWN - Free Jazz Leadsheet

sweet georgia brown, composed by Ben Bernie and Maceo Pinkard with lyrics by Kenneth Casey in 1925, is a jazz classic known for its catchy melody and upbeat swing feel. It has become one of the most recorded tunes in jazz history.

Popularized by Louis Armstrong and later adopted by the Harlem Globetrotters as their theme, it has remained a favorite among both instrumentalists and vocalists.

The tune uses a 32-bar AABA form with a lively harmonic progression, providing ample space for improvisation, virtuosic runs, and ensemble interplay.
