    I played birdland as a joke so much that my friend said it is the rickroll of our band but dude this song slaps harder than my dad

    I'm a percussionist in my high school band, but I'm also the bassist for our jazz band. We're playing this song as part of our winter concert later this week, and I couldn't be more excited. I'm more of a guitarist in general, and I'm fairly new to jazz bass so learning this song was definitely tough, but I finally managed to nail it today.
