THE CONTINENTAL 2 - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"The Continental (2)" is the second part of the sheet music for the 1934 song written by Con Conrad and Herb Magidson. Like the first part, it was introduced in the film "The Gay Divorcee" and was recorded by Carroll Gibbons and the Savoy Hotel Orpheans. This section continues the sophisticated, romantic dance theme with its smooth melody and extended popular-song structure.

Notable performances by Fred Astaire and orchestras helped cement its place in ballroom dance music, offering room for expression through its flowing melody and cinematic style.
