As Jack Pepper notes on The Vinyl Factory site, Donald Byrd's trio of 70s records, Black Byrd, Stepping Into Tomorrow & Places and Spaces, propelled jazz toward a younger, soul-oriented audience. The classic track 'Think Twice' (on Stepping Into Tomorrow) has been sampled repeatedly. Most notably by A Tribe Called Quest (Footprints, People's Instinctive Travels), (Welcome 2 Detroit), & (Worldwide Underground). was a 70s visionary.

Donald Byrd was a great jazz trumpeter in the 60s before he moved in a new direction. With Larry & Fonce Mizell, he created a form of jazz-funk that (white) critics & jazz purists detested. But their first collaboration, 1972s Black Byrd, was a smash. Today, their 70s work is a massive source for samplers. Byrd is considered a godfather of & a profoundly influential mentor & teacher, with a PhD from Columbia Teachers College.

This is a typically high quality issue - well presented, very well mastered, & impeccably pressed. The performance is really strong - you can really hear the room & the musicianship is top par.

This is just such a great recording &, while the Miles is evocative, this bops like an insane thing - particular on - the highlight imo.

As far as I can see, this set is unique to the excellent based out of Paris. If you are into - definitely check Sam out. Their issues are generally , well mastered, meticulously pressed, & well presented.

Another Sunday, a cup of ☕️, and some early as is tradition.
But this, the first day of the new year, feels different. Notes of promise and hope. 🎶
“Cristo Redentor” by Donald Byrd (1964)

pulls together a septet & an eight-voice gospel choir in a triumph of mood, melody & composition.

Thanks for some great dialogue last year & hipping me to some cool tunes. Happy New Year!
