Bye Bye Blackbird - Ray Henderson - Steve Zegree Hal Leonard ShowTrax CD CD

Here is a swinging arrangement of the great American standard in a stylereminiscent of the Count Basie big bands of the 1950's. Opening in a sp are style with unison vocals over a bass line, the texture gradually fills out to two parts, then solo with choir back-up, and finally a modulation to a full four-part conclusion. Great for developing improvisation skills!
