Lullaby of Birdland: Brass Band and Solo: Score

for Flugel Horn and Brass Band-'Ive been arguably credited with having written some 300 songs 299 of which enjoyed a rather bumpy ride from relative obscurity to total oblivion. Heres the other one.' These are the words of the great Jazz pianist and composer George Shearing about his hit of the century Lullaby of Birdland.The list of famous artists who performed this Jazz standard runs from From Ella Fitzgerald to Amy Winehouse. Gilbert Tinner wrote this arrangement for Brass Band preserving the distinctive George Shearing Sound.

Arranged in a medium up-tempo swing style and featuring an alto sax soloist at the top here is a fabulous setting of this jazz standard for mature bands. Also featured is an extended sax soli with flugelhorn doubling the lead aswell as answers from the brass and shout sections for the entire band. Destined to become a staple in the repertoire.
