Lady Bird [HL:7011307]

This jazz gem from the pen of Tadd Dameron features an easy flowing swing style and adapts wonderfully for full jazz ensemble. Mark's arrangement includes a small group (alto, tenor, bari., trumpet, trombone, guitar and vibes) off the top that contrasts nicely with the full ensemble figures. Also included is a swingin' sax soli, solos for trombone and alto, and a tutti full band chorus that starts out soft minus drums, then builds to a peak.
