Chord Charts

“Joy Spring” is a tune written by the great trumpeter Clifford Brown.
This tune starts and ends in F major but takes a ride through three other key centers in between. It’s a great tune to enjoy listening to, but from a students perspective its also a great tune to shed.
Be sure to check out the original recording of Clifford Brown and Max Roach!
