THE MOOSE MARCH - Free Jazz Leadsheet

"The Moose March" was written by Ray Bauduc and Bob Haggart and first recorded by the Bob Crosby Orchestra in the late 1930s. The piece reflects the band’s interest in blending Dixieland-style small-group writing with the drive of a swing-era orchestra.

Known for its playful theme and bounce, the tune has been revived occasionally by traditional-jazz ensembles. Built on march-like rhythmic patterns with call-and-response figures between sections, the piece maintains a lighthearted character typical of Crosby’s catalog.
