Has anybody got the sheet music for the lead line of Ornithology. I'm trying to work it out by ear at the moment but its painstakingly slow!!

You could buy or download the Real Book? Plenty of Parker in this.

Invest in a Real Book, if you're going to be playing jazz you'll need one.

Use the Aebersold version. i love the turnarounds based on the arpeggios.

Abersold Version +1

Or find some recordings and transcribe it...

Do you have the chord changes at least?

If you don't, look for the changes to How High The Moon

Then the melody will be simple...
