Never Been In Love – Tadd Dameron

A beautiful romantic ballad that was never recorded in Tadd's lifetime. We have two Minus You recordings, in two different keys, so melody instrumentalists or vocalists can experience personalizing this intense ballad.

Tadd Dameron

February 21, 1917 – March 8, 1965

A giant of the bebop era, Dameron had a wonderful melodic and harmonic imagination which he brought to compositions and arrangements for both small and big bands. Writing first for Harlan Leonard, Jimmy Lunceford, Count Basie and Billy Eckstine, in the late '40s Dameron started composing and arranging for Dizzy Gillespie's big band.
