A disfrutar con Jaco Pastorius y de lo mejor en jazz-fusion
"Birdland" is a jazz instrumental composition by keyboardist Joe Zawinul that debuted on the seventh album of Zawinul's group Weather Report, "Heavy Weather", in 1977. A jazz-fusion piece, it achieved unusual commercial success and became a jazz standard, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Jazz chart as well as charting high on the Hot 100 and R&B charts, as well.
It has entered the repertoire of many groups and bands over the years, including Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson's big band, and The Manhattan Transfer, who recorded a vocalese take on the tune with lyrics by Jon Hendricks. An uptempo version with a rap introduction appears on Quincy Jones' 1989 album "Back On The Block", with vocals by Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan.
The original version is easily recognized by an artificial harmonic intro played by bassist Jaco Pastorius.
"Birdland" was named after the New York City jazz club Birdland on 52nd Street, which in turn was named after jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, nicknamed 'Bird'. The song is a tribute to Parker and the club that Zawinul frequented as a young musician (and where he met his future wife). "Heavy Weather" is one of the best-sellers in the Columbia jazz catalog, and is on the short list of LP's considered to be the greatest of all jazz-fusion recordings. This channel is dedicated to the classic jazz music you've loved for years. The smokin' hot, icy cool jams that still make you tap your feet whenever you hear them . . . Cool Jazz is here!

La letra de "Blackbird" en español y en inglés
Mirlo que cantas a la muerte de la noche.
Toma estas alas rotas y aprende a volar.
Durante toda tu vida…
Solo has esperado este momento para volar.
Mirlo que cantas a la muerte da la noche.
Toma estos ojos profundos y aprende a ver.
Durante toda tu vida…
Solo esperabas este momento para ser libre.
Mirlo vuela…
Mirlo vuela…
Hacia la luz de la oscura noche negra.
Mirlo vuela…
Mirlo vuela…
Mirlo vuela…
Hacia la luz de la oscura noche negra.
Mirlo que cantas a la muerte de la noche,
Toma estas alas rotas y aprende a volar.
Durante toda tu vida…
SÓLO has esperado este momento para volar…
SÓLO has esperado este momento para volar…
SÓLO has esperado este momento para volar.
BLACKBIRD SINGING IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT,
TAKE THESE BROKEN WINGS AND LEARN TO FLY;
ALL YOUR LIFE,
YOU WERE ONLY WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO ARISE.
BLACKBIRD SINGING IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT,
TAKE THESE SUNKEN EYES AND LEARN TO SEE;
ALL YOUR LIFE,
YOU WERE ONLY WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO BE FREE.
BLACKBIRD, FLY,
BLACKBIRD, FLY,
INTO THE LIGHT OF THE DARK, BLACK NIGHT.
MM-DOO.
