Composed by George Shearing. Arranged by Steve William Lussing. Jazz. Score and parts. 3 pages. S. W. Lussing #3089203. Published by S. W. Lussing (A0.923849).Here's an old jazz standard that will live forever because it is so much fun to sing and listen to. "Lullaby in Birdland" is one of this guitar player's favorites. It was originally written in 2/2, or Cut time, which is how a song written in basic 4/4 timing is notated when it is intended that any performance of it should bring a little bounce to the beat. I'm all for that, but I have a rule of thumb for any song which has enough bounce, that it can be waltzed to, and this song is no exception, so I've reformatted it to the appropriate time signature. The notation in this arrangement is in fact how the song is currently being sung. I play this arrangement at about 80 beats per minute on the guitar. The chords in this arrangement are how I play "Lullaby in Birdland", and they aren't too far a departure from the original by George Shearing.
