Donald Byrd - and 125th Street, NYC (1979)

Donald Byrd - and 125th Street, NYC

   Now here is a total groove fest with some crazy soul to warm your heart.   Donald Byrd hooks up with a funky bunch including the amazing bass of Ronnie Garrett, organ of Claire Fischer, drums of Victor Azevedo, e guitar work of William Duckett, flute of Ernie Watts and sax of Peter Christlieb.  Together this band are simply jaw dropping amazing!

  Lots of vocals too on this album which with the funky backdrop reminds me a lot of the band War!   Of course the album is trumped by the amazing trumpet of Donald Byrd.
