Wind Parade - Donald Byrd

[MylesBossman]

Does anyone know the Piano Chords on this?

[kinstube]

GOTTA LOVE.

[francgmaj]

This kind of jazz is timeless. Proffessor Bird did it again with this cut. Take a listen to love has come around. Jazz is.....self expression brothers and sisters. PEACE ON EARTH!

[MrCanvazz]

tisk tisk tisk; how could you not know about Byrd and the Black Byrds. Here's one for all you steppers out there. These are a bunch of students from Howard U.

[kickbackdime7]

Man, I am not going to lie. I though Quik came up with this one on his own...I was sleeping. This shit is tight!

[BobaDavis]

@kickbackdime7 Black Moon used this beat, way before Quik ever thought of it...'93. Pac's take on it was good, though.

[THELUXURYLIFE]

DJ Quik killed this track. And all I can say is OMG when THE GREATEST EVER 2PAC blesses us with his lyrics on this track. PAC & QUIK. Yeah they dont make it like this no more.

TLL

[ansapphiregael8]

In my youth, artists like Donald with his music made it possible for for me to reach out for my dreams....still working beautifully. Thanks Donald

[kwkable11]

I still have this LP, "Places And Spaces", on wax I would put this whole album on my list of must have albums of the century. Anyone who has this album, I know that you all will have it made, in........ a......... wind parade! Makes me want to go parasailing.

[ecksoner]

also sampled by Organized Konfusion for their track titled "Stray Bullet"

[Meechooilka]

Found this through David Harness & Chris Lum's house version titled A Mighty Wind. Love both of them!!! So cool!

[ToOnzTheOriginaL]

[GWC1975]

This isn't an instrumental.

[publica74]

All you suckas that complain about sampling are full of feces...more than likely you are NOT involved in the music industry...that's #1..#2 you are probably pissed that a young Black male who may or may not have a H.S. diploma have struck a gold mine by sampling these hits from the 60's, 70's, and 80's and are making wayyyyyyyyy more money than your honkey white ass whose graduated from some lily white Ivy League school.

Please stop commenting on who remade the songs and just ENJOY THE CLASSICS!!!! Sheeesh!!!!

[LooseLeafLoser]

Needs more cowbell.

[mashan1978]

Music is like a bridge. who says "This bridge was constructed by such and such and then remodled by such and such. WHO CARES AS LONG AS IT TAKES YOU TO WHERE YOU NEED TO GO!!!

[atdssl]

@LooseLeafLoser KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[flegumd]

To deny sampling opens people up to music is ignorant. To reference music only by who has sampled it is also ignorant. There is a middle ground here...Hip hop and Soul are both beautiful types of music. Every genre lends itself to its own type of expression.

[ForwardThinkingPromo]

Dave Owen - Yo Girl samples this tune so well.

[ctdtfiveoupNup]

Great match of music and beautiful imagery.++++

[pluggedin2u]

Got to be on the most sampled tracks ever. It was and still remains a jazz classic. Donald Byrd was smokin and so was this melodic jam. I miss this type of jazz of that short era. It was truly something special.

[joilewis]

Hot!

[jason01865]

wow! classic takes me baack to the days.......

I almost forget but remembered Donald Byrd and da Black Bird...... bring back da 70's hmm smh those were my times....

[h2junkey]

@seanj666

I agree. The original sounds that much better. Raw and uncut!

[bravenewhope]

Thanks for posting. I shared this with my friends on Facebook. It brings back great memories. Well done!

[xmascar]

its mandatoryyyyy

[DiggenD]

i first heard this song as an mp3 in 1999. i always thought that sound in 1:07 was an mp3 error.

what the hell is it? doesn't sound right.

Donald Bryd, you are an amazing composer

[jonnieob1]

..... ? steady guys . . ! lets just enjoy the beauty that is Mr D B, through his brilliant music.

[Ghettoflame1]

@emjayseize I agree. I have seen more artistic forms in other countries because they have hope. They have heart. Funny how America, despite our strength as a nation, lacks this.

[Ghettoflame1]

@emjayseize I am aware of true hiphop. I opt to make it in place of looped garbage.

[Ghettoflame1]

@emjayseize Hiphop needs improvement. It's too stagnant, save the loudness.

[Ghettoflame1]

@emjayseize I WOULD agree, but really, hiphop took those sounds that they introduced us to and disrespected them. Ears of hiphop music get spoiled to the loud bass and simplistic patterns. It's as if your mind gets boxed in by it, rather than inspired to create greatness.

[sfknns]

@Ghettoflame1 , then don't listen to hip hop at all then LOL just you forget nas, wu tang, raki, etc even existed LOL!

[MemphisGrooves]

Many Thanks For The Post.

[manus211]

@emjayseize how right you are

[theEdinero]

Have heard this beat on three different hip hop jams. Glad to have tracked down the original. Musically the 70's lent some good influence to the 90's.

Donald Byrd is truely a master jazzman, Put'em in your Pandora 's radio and enjoy some really good music and up and coming rappers you'll get some some good beats from some of Donald Byrds music.

[videosensei]

[nextstopbasingstoke]

[dageneral27]

@exzotik81 no I got ya open remix sampled Barry White's Play your game

[exzotik81]

@dageneral27 LOL My bad. It was actually "Buck em down."

[DutcHcHinK]

@chris2o4her Black Moon - Buck em down ;) -> Black Moon > 2Pac

[pluggedin2u]

@DutcHcHinK Black Moon knew the deal. Like many of the 90's rappers they had a great taste in jazz and they actually were very talented rappers unlike most of what has become of rap today.

[sorryass9988]

@chris2o4her thts the jam nigga...not too many homies know about it

[bassistdc]

This is a good jam. The female vocal sounds sweet. The comments about who sampled it make me wanna puke. I hate sampling. No disrespect intended.

[exzotik81]

@bassistdc I hear you. But if it wasn't for the sample, some people wouldn't have heard the original.

[philosophersphone]

@bassistdc I feel you. But I must admit, I am a child of 80s & 90s hip hop and, without samples, I never would have found such jewels as Lonnie Liston Smith, Miles Davis, Bobbi Humphrey and, of course, Donald Byrd. I'm just saying. Peace.

[visionkingdom]

YAY SON! DAS MY CUT RITE THERE.BOTH 2PAC N BLACKMOON MADE DIS A HIPHOP CLASSIC.I CAN RIDE DOWN DA STREET N ROCK DIS OUT MY VAN.4 REAL 4 REAL.

[QMOHAMMED]

tupac sampled this for definition of a thug nigga

[siloe103]

@QMOHAMMED tupac never sampled a thing...he just wrote lyrics...Quik sampled this for Heartz of man...Pac just spit some bars on it...

[QMOHAMMED]

@siloe103 he sampled this beat for definition of a thug nigga. k thanks bye

[remainingnameless]

This song has been sampled in so many ways and if I were a producer, I'd have discovered another way: 2:28 thru 3:00

Dope. Buck em Down in the Late Night!

i think 2pac's track is catchier. this could've done without the vocals.

[f1tony2003]

Donald Byrd is my favorite jazz musician of all time. Love how he went from hard bop to the jazz fusion era almost effortlessly. Man is a living legend.

[fede4real]

wow I discovered this 5 years ago,this has inspired my sound. This is an all time favourite.Mizell bros producing awsome

[darkchild00]

Donald Byrd is the founding member of the soul group The Blackbyrds.

[rileyNY12]

You're so right! I first heard this on Buck em Down by Black Moon but when I heard Pac and the Outlaws get loose and how jazzy they kept it, I had to find out where the sample was from. I'm on the I95 with this on regulary. Amazing music.

[Stealthmodel]

i told you riley!! now leta take it a step further! try to find late nite, but with 2pac, amg, and dj quik, that version is better than the outlawz, trust me homie, oh! and listen to the dpg version by daz dillinger, its called " i love it when U"

[dnjp4life]

DJ Quik originally produced Late Night for 2nd II None for their song 'Lets Get Higher.' Its on Youtube if you want to check it out.

[scheemadruci]
