Donald Byrd — Fancy Free ... CD

Blue Note (Japan), 1969. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Donald Byrd — Kofi ... CD

Blue Note, 1969/1970. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A fantastic set of tracks that was recorded at the cusp of the 70s, but which wasn't (for some strange reason) released until many years later! Donald Byrd's playing here with two different larger groups, and the music is a perfect bridge between his spacey late 60s attempts to mimic Miles Davis, ... (Jazz) read more CD

One of the seminal sides cut by Donald Byrd in his partnership with Pepper Adams – a high-up, low-down set that's a smoker all the way through!
