In the song Birdland who are Max Blakey and Cannonball?
"Birdland" is a song paying homage to one of the most influential jazz saxophonist of the 20th Century: Charlie Parker. Parker obtained the nickname "Yardbird" which was eventually shortened to "Bird". When an aficionado of bebop jazz spoke of Bird, everyone knew who he was talking about. The song made popular by The Manhattan Transfer is replete with references to famous jazz artists that played with Parker. "Bird would cook, Max would look" obviously refers to Charlie "Bird" Parker and Max Roach, a stylistic drummer of the bebop period. "Miles came through", refers to the great Miles Davis, considered the premier jazz trumpeter of the post-WWII era. "'Trane came too" is in reference to John Coltrane, a key tenor saxophonists who often played with Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. "Basie blew, Blakey too" refers to Count Basie, a jazz pianist and band leader from Charlie Parker's home town of Kansas City and Art Blakey, another influential bebop drummer known for his hard driving drumming technique. "Cannonball played that hall", is Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, a jazz alto saxophonist who was a member of the Miles Davis Sextet and later headed his own quintet.

Where can you find the yard birds in grizzleheim on wizard 101?
In Savarstaad Pass: •Find Swiftbranch at the edge of Webwood. Continue forward facing the direction of Wildroot and stay close to the stone wall. The yardbird will be in front of a bush. •Stick to the right when you enter the Boar Camp. Behind the third hut will be the yardbird. In Vigrid Roughland (the numbers are messed up, sorry) : •The fourth yardbird is near the teleport stone, close to the berry bushes. Go all the way back toward the rock wall by the stream, it will be between two trees. (if you look on your map, you should be near the edge of it.) •The third yardbird; you cross the left bridge behind the teleport stone and take the far right path, past the Wildclaws. Take the path to the right again before you reach the stream, pass the Informers, take the path to the far right. You'll see more Informers. Then take the middle path that leads to Hans. Behind Hans is a path leading up and around a hill. Follow it to the very top and you'll find the yardbird. In Mirkholm Keep: • The fifth bird ; if you take the teleporting stone (the red one) you should be near the NPC Valt NightHowler. Diagonally to the left, there should be an entrance that leads to a secluded circle area. (there will be two paths, but take the one that's closest to you.) The yardbird will be there. **If you don't know where the NPCs are, look on your map.**
