SKU: A0.1833757

By Manhattan Transfer. By Joe Zawinul and Jon Hendricks. Arranged by Rob Cuesta (SOCAN). This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Jazz. 41 pages. Rob Cuesta Music #1393356. Published by Rob Cuesta Music (A0.1833757).

Joe Zawinul’s Birdland is a fusion classic whose energy and groove have made it a favourite with audiences for decades. This arrangement brings that unmistakable sound to ensembles that don’t always have the luxury of perfect instrumentation.

Scored as a true flex-band chart, it works well for smaller groups, programs with changing personnel, and ensembles facing instrumentation gaps. Rather than reducing the music to the standard four or five flex parts, this version uses seven independent lines, creating greater colour, clearer textures, and a more satisfying ensemble sound.

The expanded scoring gives directors genuine options when balancing sections, while allowing players to perform meaningful, varied material instead of simply doubling parts. The result is a flexible arrangement that still feels musically complete — maintaining the rhythmic drive, layered writing, and character that make Birdland so enduring.

Ideal for concerts or festivals when you want a high-energy closer that sounds full even with limited forces.
