Lazy Bird

Lazy Bird

Lazy Bird is a musical composition by John Coltrane, first appearing on his 1957 album "Blue Train".

Its name is most likely a play on the title of the Tadd Dameron composition "Lady Bird"; Coltrane biographer Lewis Porter has proposed a harmonic relationship between "Lady Bird" and the A section of "Lazy Bird". (The bridge of Coltrane's song is apparently a variation on the standard, "Lover Man"). The chord progression of "Lady Bird" may be transformed into that of Lazy Bird" through chord substitution using the backdoor progression and tritone substitution [Lyon, Jason (2007). "Coltrane’s Substitution Tune", [http://www.opus28.co.uk/jazzarticles.html www.opus28.co.uk/jazzarticles.html] .] .

The A section of "Lazy Bird" also features two tonal centers a major third apart, an idea that would later be expanded into what are known as Coltrane changes.
