The John L. Nelson Project has released a new jazz album called "Don't Play With Love."

The songs were written by Prince's late father John L. Nelson. His daughter — and Prince's half-sister — Sharon Nelson recently rediscovered the sheet music that her father had given her years ago. She assembled a band to record her father's compositions.

The recordings were the first to be made at Paisley Park since Prince's death.
