BIRD FEATHERS - Free Jazz Leadsheet
"Bird Feathers" was composed by Charlie Parker in 1947 and first recorded in New York with a small bebop ensemble featuring Miles Davis on trumpet.
It has been recorded by numerous jazz artists in later decades, often serving as a showcase for fast-paced improvisation and bebop phrasing.
The piece is instrumental, built on a 32-bar AABA structure with angular melody lines and rapid chord changes, demonstrating the virtuosic agility typical of Parker's work.
