Black Byrd

Temporarily Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 6040) Blue Note, 1973 — Condition: Used

A landmark album – Donald Byrd's first session with producer Larry Mizell, the man who went on to forever change the face of jazz funk! After rumbling around for a few years attempting electric styles that really didn't fit his mode, Donald wisely hooked up with Larry, and hit a groove here that would carry him for many many years. The album's a masterpiece of soul – heavy production with great keyboards, creating a nice set of grooves that let Byrd solo over the top, sounding better than he had in years! Great all the way through, and with tracks that include "Flight Time", "Sky High", "Black Byrd", "Slop Jar Blues", "Mr Thomas", and the prophetically-titled "Where Are We Going?" (German pressing. Cover has an unglued bottom seam and some marker on the back.)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
