It has been fifteen years Donald Byrd’ last studio CD, “Jazz in Paris: Byrd in Paris” which won Array MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Self-described as Jazz with lots of words, Donald Byrd comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. There is so much to love about Donald Byrd, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Jazz in Paris: Byrd in Paris is the best essence of Donald Byrd.
Opening track Paul’s Pal shows the best of Donald Byrd. Flute Blues is one of the best records ever. Ray’s Idea is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Blues Walk is simply astounding.
