About this product
All tracks either written, produced or performed by Donald Byrd; the collection starts in 1973 around the start of the Jazz Funk era.
With comprehensive notes by Charles Waring. Donald Byrd started recording in the mid-50s, but by the late-60s his style became more electric and was one of the instigators of the Jazz Funk scene. This package kicks off with ‘Lansana’s Priestess’ from the 1973 album ‘Street Lady’ nearly eight minutes of pure Jazz Funk produced by the legendary Mizell Brothers.
Followed by a slew of classic Donald Byrd tracks such as ‘Black Byrd’, ‘Loves So Far Away’ and ‘Flight Time’ to name but a few.
