THAT OLD GANG OF MINE - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"That Old Gang of Mine" was composed by Ray Henderson with lyrics by Billy Rose and Mort Dixon, published in 1923. The first well-known recording was made the same year by Billy Murray and Ed Smalle in New York, one of several versions that helped the song reach widespread popularity in the 1920s.

The tune has been revisited by traditional pop singers and nostalgic vocal ensembles, reflecting its theme of longing for old friends and earlier days. Built on a straightforward popular-song structure, the melody carries a warm, sentimental character that suits barbershop, vocal harmony, and early jazz interpretations.
