As Dreamers Do

Here's a lead sheet to a new tune: "As Dreamers Do" - the links are Adobe PDF files:

As Dreamers Do (B-Flat Lead Sheet)
As Dreamers Do (Concert Lead Sheet)

I wrote "As Dreamers Do" in the typical "jazz standard" form (yea, whatever that is!) - it's lyrical, harmonically diverse, and the melody is intended to be freely adapted by the player.

Benny Golson, in particular, was a source of inspiration for this tune, not only as a player but for his approach to ballad writing. "I Remember Clifford" was and will forever be one of the standards every trumpet/flugelhorn player knows and loves.

Meanwhile, I'll keep writing 'em and hopefully my friends and associates will play 'em. I'm playing 'em too.

Enjoy,

Rob Birdwell

Oregon State Daily Barometer Online - Majestic Theater hosts a 'magic barrel' to fight hunger

Oregon State Daily Barometer Online - Majestic Theater hosts a 'magic barrel' to fight hunger - this was a lot of fun. John Bliss (Guitar), Jeff "The Viking" Morre (Drums/Percussion) and myself Rob Birdwell (Trumpet/Flugelhorn) accompanied three of the readers and it went very well. The food afterwards from Intaba's was excellent too!

I thought all the readers' material was outstanding...the event raised over $1300 to help fight hunger right in Linn and Benton counties.
