Birdland is a jazz/pop song written by Joe Zawinul of the band Weather Report as a tribute to the Birdland nightclub in New York City, which appeared on the band's 1977 album Heavy Weather. The Manhattan Transfer won a Grammy Award with their 1979 version of the song, which had lyrics by Jon Hendricks. Even though it was a piece in pure fusion style, the song achieved unusual commercial success and became a jazz standard, entering the repertoire of many orchestras and soloists such as Buddy Rich and Maynard Ferguson.
