About this Cantaloupe Island lead sheet
This is the jazz lead sheet for Cantaloupe Island, written by Herbie Hancock in 1975, transposed for B♭ instruments — trumpet, tenor sax, clarinet. The melody and the chord symbols are written a major second above concert pitch, so what you read matches what the rhythm section plays. The chart is written in G minor (concert F minor), in 4/4 time. Read it here for free and play it back — the band keeps sounding in concert pitch while you read your part. Need another key?
