To celebrate the June 4-5 recording anniversary of Donald Brown's first album as a leader ("Early Bird" - 1987), you'll see we've added editions so all of Donald's originals from this album are now available for you to study and play …
We couldn't find the exact day in June that Donald recorded his trio album The Sweetest Sounds which also contains Donald's first recordings of two more of his classic compositions Affaire D'Amour and Nature's Folksong, so we're are also making those lead sheets available now.
On June 6, 1987, the next day after Donald completed his "Early Bird" album, saxophonist Bill Pierce went into the studio making the first recording of Donald's Afronomical. A masterpiece!
