[EN]Here is a light, medium easy (Grade 2) swinging arrangement of this well-known jazz standard.
Bye Bye Blackbird was published in 1926 by Ray Henderson and Mort Dixon. It was both their earliest song and the most popular.
The song has always been a favorite tune of jazz players, and has been recorded by numerous artists, including Peggy Lee (1959), Nina Simone (1962), Josephine Baker (1927), Miles Davis (1957), Sammy Davis Jr. (1961), John Coltrane (1962), Paul McCartney (2012) and Van Morrison (2017).

This is a SHOWBLOW arrangement, where 5 flexible parts allow many combinations of wind instruments. Additional parts for drums, piano and bass guitar (with chords).

A great opportunity for teaching laid-back swing style. Don´t forget to keep a good balance throughout the arrangement, and always let the melody come through.
