Donald Byrd - Byrd Jazz - Sam LP

180g Vinyl, Limited Edition of 1000, Tip-On Jacket with 12-Page Booklet

Recorded live in Detroit on August 23rd, 1955, Byrd Jazz captures trumpeter Donald Byrd's first recording as a featured artist. This Transition LP is a perfect example of the dynamism of the mid-1950s Detroit jazz scene, showcasing young local talents including tenor saxophonist Yusef Lateef, pianist Barry Harris, and Bernard McKinney on euphonium. Long a collector's favorite for its "Mondrianesque" cover, it returns here mastered from the original master tapes in a deluxe edition.
