East Of The Sun

[Brooks Brooks Bowman]

Composed for the 1934 musical *Stages At Bay* while he was still a student at Princeton, Brooks Bowman’s song was a hit even before he graduated. Popularized as a standard by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Charlie Parker and Stan Getz, the tune has found it’s way on to many set lists and albums over time. The melody and changes make it versatile enough to play in a swing, Latin jazz, or samba style – featured here.
