The Fire Within is an album by the American saxophonist Don Braden, released in 1999.[2][3] Braden supported the album with shows in the United States and Britain.[4]
Braden recorded the album with three different bands.[5] Kenny Kirkland intended to play with one of the bands but died before the recording sessions; instead of replacing Kirkland's piano, Braden chose to record the planned songs with just himself, bassist Christian McBride, and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts.[6] Dwayne Burno played bass on some of the other tracks.[7] Braden composed the title track.[8] "Solar" is an interpretation of the Miles Davis song.[9] "Fried Bananas" is a version of the Dexter Gordon tune; "Thermo" was written by Freddie Hubbard.[10][11]
