John Denton has pushed all the right buttons with Lullaby of Birdland. From the first note, you know you have a winner. Here's a swinger that begins with a clever quote from the pop tune "Birdland" followed by composer George Shearings' trademark block harmony sound for piano and guitar. The solos (written solos provided) are scored for piano and tenor sax. Incidentally, here is a great chance to show off your piano player with a jazz standard composed by a jazz piano legend. A well-written chart that provides a big ensemble sound that will have your band roaring!
