SKU: HL.3745125

By Weather Report. By Joe Zawinul. Arranged by Michael Sweeney. Esprit Marching Band. Jazz. Softcover. Hal Leonard #3745125. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.3745125).

UPC: 073999981346. 6.75x10.5x0.594 inches.

Originally recorded by the innovative jazz fusion group Weather Report, Birdland has become one of the most popular jazz tunes ever. Michael Sweeney adds a few wrinkles and a false ending but retains the joyful energy (and most importantly, the percussion groove!) of the original.

Solid 'Birdland' for Field Performances
This 'Birdland' arrangement is a reliable choice for a marching band program. Michael Sweeney's take keeps the essential 'percussion groove' of the Weather Report original, which is crucial for audience recognition. The Grade 3 difficulty means it's accessible without sacrificing impact. The 'wrinkles and false ending' add a nice touch for field shows.

So Fun to Play Weather Report!
I absolutely love playing this 'Birdland' arrangement with my community marching band! As a Grade 3, it's challenging enough to be engaging but totally achievable for weekend practices. It truly captures the joyful energy and that iconic percussion groove from the Weather Report original. A really satisfying piece to perform!
