Why hate to say it? It was the first one I started with on the thread then thought the Weather Report original was instrumental & changed it for appearance of the thread. :)

Weather Report - Birdland

[real saxophonist]

I had a jazz show on WVGS for 3 years.Weather Report was often featured, but for some reason, every week I got calls, 'Play Birdland! Play Birdland!'

I just kinda got tired of it, because they've done so many more superior things, I finally played every version of Birdland I had available.

Original Weather Report version, Weather Report live version, Maynard Ferguson version, Manhattan Transfer version, Playboy Jazz Festival version, and then I never played it again.
