Why Ladybird is a better jazz song than you think

Ladybird might be my all-time favourite jazz standard - though that changes every few months. Regardless, Ladybird is an absolute bop, and has some extraordinarily hip changes that you deserve to know more about.

I'm Tim Beau Bennett, and I'm making videos about jazz history. Sometimes I talk about jazz musicians, sometimes the songs, and sometimes about genres. I play jazz guitar, though I would call myself a keen amateur, rather than a professional. These videos are a work in progress, but there are many more to come - so please subscribe and let me know what you'd like to see in the comments!
