Donald Byrd Got 2 Dislikes -WTF?

[zapp2it]

anyone got the lyrics on this one please?

[leopoldusbenedictus]

Busy....I love it. Very 70's with all that wild flute. You heard that sound in every movie of the era. Still good today. I can't remember if we were 'juicing ' it then or getting high. I think a combination of both. Long live the Byrd!!

Man i'm laughing my ass off @ 41 seconds into this track it sounds like my grandfather asking my grandmother to make him dinner!!!

driver parallel lines is so awesome with this music

[DiscoHank]

Has anybody noticed that this song is basically a revamp of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man????", very clever and very funky, but "Watermelon Man" is a basic jazz funk, and even Herbie remade it.

[robertclemon]

I remember the day, Jazz was king, and Donald was a Prince.

in the pocket for the bell.

[vieshus]

Yeah,all the Driver parallel lines soundtracks in era 1978 are awesome!

[supersaver87]

I heard this song in a video game; Driver: Parallel Lines. It's one of the best songs in there. :)

True talent and genius is never missed, even by someone like me who doesn't know music very well. I had the vinyl album "Places and Spaces" in 1975 and loved it. I just found out it featured Donald Byrd, who I recently heard is a famous jazz musician. No wonder I loved the sound - it was Byrd!

[Streamline09]

This was later sampled in Miles Davis' last CD, "Doo Bop", in a song entitled "High Speed Chase." Thanks for the posting this song.

Listen to Donald GO! Music like this no longer exists. Soul Power!

[sexybisquit]

I grew up listening to his music...nothin' like it today that's for damn sure!

[msbadu2003]

I heard about Donald through Erykah Badu's music. This is so dope. Real music. I like, I like:)

[JayrocAlmighty]

That's how I heard about Roy Hargrove. He's a good trumpeter and his RH Factor Albums are the truth!!! Look him up.

[kokonutz32]

haven't seen any mention of "a new perspective" which is my favorite donald byrd album!

donalds best period

[loosestudios]

In the 1970s, he moved away from his previous hard-bop jazz base and began to record jazz fusion, Jazz-funk, soul-Jazz, and rhythm and blues. Teaming up with the Mizell Brothers, they produced Black Byrd, which was enormously successful and became Blue Note Records' highest-ever selling album. The Mizell Brothers follow-up production albums for Byrd, Places and Spaces, Steppin' Into Tomorrow and Street Lady

[cruptbside]

Takes me back to my days at Howard Univ. Nope, I wasn't there when Donald was. They left the previous semester to go on tour.
