Hello, everyone!

Has anyone ever heard of Bluebird Social Orchestra? I've been told that a song I've been trying to find is by them, but I can't find anything on them anywhere. No web site, nothing on CD Universe or anything like that. At least not that I could find. So I'm thinking it might be some local band somewhere. I don't have the name of the particular song at this moment because I can't find the damned piece of napkin I had it written on. But does that band name sound familiar to anyone? It may be Blue Bird, or Bluebirds, etc.

Do you mean the Blue Bird Society Orchestra? I have a great version of "Rockin' In Rhythm" by them from the compliation The Music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn on Stash Records. I don't have the liner notes in front of me, but I think this is a band comprised of the likes of Dan Barrett in the 1980s. That's all I know about this band. I hope that helps.

Yes! That's it! Thanks so much. Unfortunately, it looks like that compilation is out of print, as I can't find it anywhere. Looks like I'm out of luck, but thanks again for the info.

I have a copy of the Bluebird Society Orchestra's "Music of High Society". It has a lot in common with Mora's Modern Rhythmists and the style of music they do. It's really good stuff. It's probably out of print as well... the radio station of DJ gave it to me.

It also has "Rockin' in Rhythm".
