Composed by George Shearing. Arranged by Aldo Martinez. Contemporary. Octavo. 9 pages. Aldo Martinez #6111273. Published by Aldo Martinez (A0.944518)."Lullaby of Birdland" is a jazz standard and popular song composed by George Shearing with lyrics by George David Weiss
George Shearing wrote "Lullaby of Birdland" in 1952 for Morris Levy, the owner of the New York jazz club Birdland. Levy had got in touch with Shearing and explained that he'd started a regular Birdland-sponsored disk jockey show, and he wanted Shearing to record a theme which was "to be played every hour on the hour." Levy originally wanted his own music to be recorded, but Shearing insisted he couldn't relate very well with it and wanted to compose his own music. They compromised by sharing the rights of the song; the composer's rights went to Shearing, and the publishing rights went to Levy.
