Bird, The [Ken:52085]

Bird, The. By: Parker. Arr: LaBarbera. Kendor Archive Editions. Instrumentation: standard jazz ensemble; 1st Alto doubles on soprano sax.

This adaptation of the Charlie Parker classic features a fast swing tempo and the bop-style lines you'd expect, but it also pays tribute to Bird by casting selected horns in intimate, combo-like settings within the full ensemble format. The solo work goes to lead alto, and alternating sax and brass solis culminate in a shout that takes this chart out strong.        .
