Donald Byrd is one of my favorite musicians of all time. This record stays on rotation in our home, along with several other pieces of his wax.

Donald Byrd – Black Byrd (1972) by Halline Overby, Roy Ayers Project | 70/30

You can call it the pre-cursur to contemporary jazz. You can call it selling out. Or you can refer to the Donald Byrd album entitled Black Byrd an album that revolutionized the sound of fusion jazz, as it’s sound was (and still is being) duplicated. Black Byrd was recorded in 1972, which was a bit earlier than other jazz fusion albums with a head nodding, driving 4/4 beat. This album was danceable, as it was one of Blue Note Records most popular releases, and as you could guess, it’s success received a lot of flack from Byrd’s contemporaries.

Thanks to the homie @SeanieMIC! This was made by @JasonRNewman and I saw it from a tweet from my homie Sean. GREAT. Rappers spelling their names (which I have done before and might do again, it’s a hip-hop thing) in songs. So cooooooool how it’s put together.

I know most of these records, and this made me want to hear them. Expect an all hip-hop mix shortly.

Yes Yes YALL!

I remember walking to Lafayette Square Mall on a summer day to buy this and it being about 169 degrees outside. Still, completely worth that trip.
