Tadd Dameron – Lady Bird is a 16-bar through-composed jazz composition. This song includes drums, saxophone, trumpets, and trombone. The tempo starts out somewhat slow and remains that way during the course of the song building slightly at the end. The melody sounds like it is played by the saxophone. In my opinion this song is smooth and very easy to listen to. Although the song seems to be on the softer side the energy is still felt and although it is not overpowering it is unwavering in its resolve to make you feel the music.

The tempo remains slow from start to finish. The male vocalist is simply mesmerizing! There is a tuba solo in between the beautiful vocals. The melody is played out by the piano and the tuba, I believe. This song has a 4 bar introduction and a simple style melody. I feel that the vocals add to the music and make express the artist’s position. His voice is almost raspy, but
