Bringing back a tune that was called just over 10 years ago - for this July, I'm hoping we can all come together and enjoy some "Little Sunflower"! This should be a nice easy venture into a great beautiful modal jazz tune, by the great Freddie Hubbard! It's such a great melody, and being modal makes it fairly simple for memorizing scales/chords!
Here's a couple version's I've found that I really enjoy:
Freddie Hubbard's Original:
Everette Harp on Tenor Sax:
Christian McBride providing some beautiful changes (strings/bow?!) to what you would expect here:
And my personal favorite - Freddie and young Kenny Garrett:
There's some great variety out there, and plenty more takes to listen too! Should make for another great month filled with many great takes, as this one screams to have a variety of different versions from our wonderful variety of players!
Here is a link to the Eb/Bb sheets, alongside 4 backings I liked a lot, but there are tons out there on youtube!

Hope you all enjoy this pick! Looking forward to hearing from you all!
