On June 27 we celebrated what would have been Elmo Hope's 101st birthday by releasing Eyes So Beautiful As Yours, an exquisite ballad from his 1961 album "Homecoming." Full score and sextet parts are available. Also check out pianist Sullivan Fortner's video of this song (second album cover).

We've also added six songs with recording anniversaries in late June:
-- June 17 and 18, 1963: Let's Try (Tom McIntosh) from James Moody's album "Great Day" plus the original Maynard Ferguson recording.
-- June 18, 1965: The Dip and The Vamp (Hank Mobley) from his album "Dippin'."
-- June 21, 1962: Space Station (Grachan Moncur, III) from the Art Farmer-Benny Golson Jazztet album "Another Git Together" - also check out our very different exclusive solo piano recording by Micah Thomas
-- June 25 and 26, 1993: Peacemaker (Cecil McBee) from Arthur Blythe's album "Retroflection" and others
-- June 25 and 26, 1986: Alvin's Smile (Harold Land) from the Timeless All-Stars album "Essence"
