Donald Byrd: Deep Cuts

Donald Byrd's long career was marked by a willingness to adapt. A master of jazz trumpet, he could hang in nearly any style: bebop (“Doug's Blues”), funky blues (“Weasil”) and even the disco-tinged fusion of “Change (Makes You Want To Hustle)”. These deep cuts tell the story of his evolution from an energetic young bandleader (“Down Tempo”) to a mature groovemaster (“I Feel Like Loving You Today”).
