I'VE GRWON ACCUSTOMED - Free Jazz Leadsheet

Composed by Frederick Loewe with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner in 1956, "i've grown accustomed" (from the musical "My Fair Lady") is a lyrical ballad expressing contemplative reflection and emotional transformation. Its expressive melody and harmonic sophistication have made it a favorite for jazz and theatrical performers.

The first recording was by Julie Andrews in London in 1956 for the Broadway cast album, highlighting her clear, expressive vocal style. Later recordings by Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, and jazz instrumentalists showcased its interpretive depth.

The lyrics explore gradual emotional adaptation and inner realization, while the musical structure features a flexible 32-bar form with rich harmonic sequences, encouraging nuanced phrasing and improvisation.
