Free Bird Seed, 500 Yards

Charlie Parker meets the Roadrunner in this bebop chart for brass quintet. A typical “Bird-like” head is bantered about the ensemble while the tuba provides a smooth walking bass line. There are written solos for 2nd trumpet and tuba and there is enough bird seed (errrr….ensemble work) to keep everyone busy. Confirmation that Now’s The Time to Scrapple From The Apple and get playin’ this sizzler. Plug this one in and watch it go. Drum part with written fills included. “Meep, meep”.
