CHASIN' THE BIRD - Free Jazz Leadsheet

“chasin' the bird” was composed by Charlie Parker and first recorded in 1947 for the Dial label. The session captured Parker’s rapid-fire bebop lines and harmonic sophistication, helping define the new modern-jazz vocabulary.

The tune is based on a modified set of changes related to the standard “I Got Rhythm,” giving soloists a familiar but challenging framework. Its brisk tempo, angular melody, and intricate phrasing have made it a cornerstone for advanced improvisers.
