About this Donna Lee lead sheet
This is the jazz lead sheet for Donna Lee, written by Charlie Parker in 1947, transposed for E♭ instruments — alto sax, baritone sax. The melody and the chord symbols are written a major sixth above concert pitch, so what you read matches what the rhythm section plays. The chart is written in F major (concert Ab major), 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?
