THAT'S MY HOME - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"That's My Home" was composed by Egbert Thayer with lyrics by Sidney Robin and Leon Rene, published in 1932. Louis Armstrong made the first and most influential recording on December 8, 1932, in Chicago, accompanied by his Orchestra, giving the tune an enduring association with his warm vocal delivery.

Armstrong revisited the song throughout his career, and later traditional jazz groups adopted it for its nostalgic sentiment. The lyrics speak of comfort, belonging, and emotional refuge, while the melody unfolds in a relaxed 32-bar format. Its gentle harmonic motion and heartfelt phrasing continue to appeal to performers exploring classic jazz balladry.
