    • Verse 1
    It 
    had 
    to be 
    sweetness 

    'Cause I'd 
    been in New York 
    all the time, 
    and 
    he brought Charlie 
    Parker 
    in this hotel 
    room, 

    in the Booker 
    Washington 
    Hotel 

    There was 
    nothing 
    to do but 
    play, 
    you know, 

    and we had a 
    lot of fun 
    trying 
    to play, you 
    know 

    That 
    man, 
    Charlie 
    Parker, 
    was mine 

    That was 
    the first time 
    I ever had the 

    pleasure to meet 
    Dizzy 
    Gillespie 

    I can remember 
    Miles 

    Miles was 
    in 
    my original 
    band 

    And 
    Charlie 
    Parker 
    created 
    the sound, 
    and the moment 
    I heard 
    him I 
    said, 

    "that's how 
    music 
    should 
    sound" 

    Verse 2

    A tribute to 
    the Birdman, 

    the father 
    of Birdland 

    A masterpiece 
    that release 
    the horns, 

    words 
    and 

    The musical 
    greats, salute 
    the 
    late 

    Mentor, 
    inventor 
    of 
    a sound 

    that dates 
    back 

    From 
    bebop to pop 
    and pop 

    to hip 
    hop 

    We fused 
    the times 
    of jazzing 

    rhymes 
    and got 

    Kool 
    Moe Dee 
    and 
    Big 
    Daddy 
    Kane 

    To 
    bring 
    on the 
    legends; Kane, 

    hit 
    the 
    names 

    Verse 3
    I kick 
    a rap 
    to 
    what 
    you can 
    relax 
    to 

    A 
    jazz 
    soloist, 

    play 
    away with 
    the sax 

    To get the 
    job 
    done, 

    next 
    one 
    up 
    to do 
    his duty 

    Ladies 
    and gentlemen, 

    Interlude 1
    mister 
    James 
    Moody 


    Verse 4

    No 
    one goes 
    the 
    mile 
    like 
    Miles 
    Davis 

    Watch 
    how 
    he plays 

    this trumpet 
    and 
    pump 
    it 

    Just 
    like a mechanic 
    handles 
    a tool 

    Here's 
    the 
    rebirth 
    of the 
    cool 



    Verse 5

    What 
    kind 
    of noise 
    can 
    a string 
    bring 

    Making 
    you swing 
    and sing 
    things 

    of 
    a musical 
    fling 

    Well listen 
    to this 
    star, 

    next 
    up 
    is 
    our– 

    Oh, George 
    Benson 
    bringing 
    the guitar 


    Verse 6


    A 
    voice 
    of choice 
    used just 

    like an 
    instrument 

    So magnificent, 
    I'm proud 
    to 
    present 

    Divine, 
    Sassy 
    or 
    A.K.A 
    Sarah 
    Vaughan 

    Honey, 
    you're on 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 7
    I'm 
    introdu
    cin' 
    a bop 
    revolu
    tion 

    In jazz 
    that 
    has 
    pizazz, he 

    is one 
    player 
    usin' 
    it 

    Ask 
    who is 
    he, his first 
    name's 
    Dizzy 

    Last 
    name 
    Gillespie, 

    now watch 
    him 
    get 
    busy 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 8
    Allow 
    me to 
    tell 
    a story 
    about 
    Ella 

    Fitzgerald, 
    who's 
    sound can 

    never 
    be sterile 

    A woman with 
    flexibility 
    of 
    range 

    Making 
    octaves 
    change, 

    go 'head 
    do your 
    thing 

    Verse 9
    This 
    is 

    a 

    shoutout to 
    one 
    more 
    man 

    Joe 
    Zawinul, the 
    writer 
    of 
    Birdland 

    Verse 10


    In 
    the fifties, 
    this 
    was 
    the 
    place 
    to be 

    From 
    the bands 
    down 
    to 

    the 
    maitre'd 

    Now, who 
    could 
    forget 
    the 

    MC 
    on the set 

    The emollient 
    voice 
    of Pee 

    Verse 11
    Wee Marquette 


    Ladies 
    and 
    gentlemen, 

    as 
    you know 
    we 
    have 
    something 
    special 
    down 
    here 
    at Birdland 
    this 
    evening 

    Verse 12
    A 
    sound 
    so 
    profound 
    it's come 

    back 
    around 

    52nd Street 
    is now 
    world- 
    renowned 

    With horn 
    licks 
    with 
    kick, 

    and swift 
    riffs to 
    stick 

    Today 
    bebop makes 
    the 
    hip 
    hop pick 

    These 
    musical 
    genius's 
    souls 

    are 
    so 
    clever 

    They changed 
    the 
    face 

    of music 
    forever 

    And if you 
    can't 
    understand 

    Here's 
    a 
    past 
    and 
    present 
    Birdland

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
