I have been a Huge fan of Donald Byrd for some time now and his music never grows weary nor tired sounding. "Electric Byrd" finds Donald Byrd far from his nest playing in a very "Miles Davis" fusion vein with a certain spacy, floating feeling throughout reaching the psychedelic heights of that found on "Bitches Brew".
Byrd draws on tons of improvisation and add loads of amplification brass effects and creates a certain nebular cosmic effects throughout. Helping Byrd along the way are some good friends including Airto Morreira (percussion), Duke Pearson (electric piano) and Pepper Adams (sax). In fact, Byrd has hooked up with 11 others who help create these lush cosmic
There are three huge space numbers on this album which makes the album absolutely essential and 100% relevant.
