Stepping into Tomorrow is a funk-chill groove album that while softer in composition still carries Byrd's wild approach. This album is full of Davis-like trumpets and flugelhorns with a huge mix of electro-funk bass and supporting percussion. The funk era of Byrd is some of my personal favourite albums and "Stepping Into Tomorrow" is one of em! The song "Think Twice" is the killer track on this album with is dirty groove and soft chill esoteric vibe. Byrd calls on some old friends too to help out with drummer Harvey Mason, bassist Chuck Rainey, keyboardist Jerry Peters, and guitarist David T. Walker.
The end result is a killer jazz-funk -fusion album that compliments yet differs from "Black Byrd" and "Street Lady".
Simply essential funk groove..............
