Product description

Donald Byrd's "Chant" is a captivating journey into the world of hard bop, a genre that Donald Byrd mastered. Recorded in 1961 but not released until 1979, this album is a testament to the timeless appeal of jazz. The album features a stellar lineup, including the legendary Herbie Hancock on piano, making his second-ever recorded performance, and the formidable Pepper Adams on baritone saxophone. The music was captured at the iconic Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey, a place synonymous with some of the most influential jazz recordings of all time.

"Chant" is a high-energy album that maintains a consistent uptempo throughout, showcasing Byrd's virtuosic trumpet playing and the tight, dynamic interplay between the quintet members. The album's six tracks, including the title track "Chant" and the standards "That's All" and "Sophisticated Lady," offer a blend of original compositions and well-chosen covers. The music is a masterclass in hard bop, with each track highlighting the band's exceptional musicianship and collective chemistry.

The album's sound is rich and balanced, with the highs, mids, and lows all perfectly in tune, creating a listening experience that is both engaging and satisfying. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, "Chant" offers a thrilling introduction to the world of hard bop and the incredible talent of Donald Byrd and his bandmates. This album is a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolution of jazz and the enduring legacy of one of its most influential figures.

This 2019 Reissue LP is housed in a gatefold, pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Hard Bop Excellence

    5 out of 5 stars
    etophiye400December 19, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I can't really say much more than what's already been said in the other glowing reviews, this is a fantastic "hard bop" jazz record that maintains a consistent, upbeat tempo on both sides (for the most part). The highs, mids, and lows are all spot on and flow seamlessly, though there's some distortion on a few of Byrd's solos, but only when he hits those super high notes. The vinyl itself is perfectly flat with no rough edges or surface noise, and the center hole is perfectly cut so there's no wobble with my tonearm. Highly recommended for all you "jazz heads" out there who love hard bop and the like. Music 5*, Sound quality 5*, Mastering 5*. Vinyl front-end: Rega P3:RB880 tonearm, Cartridge: Denon DL103r, Phono Stage: Whest Audio TWO.2

  • Byrd and Adams Shine

    3 out of 5 stars
    pybesi0927November 1, 2025United States🇺🇸

    What took so long for this to come out, 18 years after it was taped? Byrd and Adams shine, Herbie Hancock is out of this world, top-notch Hard Bop all the way through!

  • Byrd's Flight: Flawless Listen

    5 out of 5 stars
    g7xkdoedJune 22, 2025United States🇺🇸

    After hearing the Byrd in Flight version, I grabbed this one - and it was just as amazing. The sound quality is flawless and it's a fantastic listen.

  • Worth the Wait Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    ZaedeijeMay 13, 2025United States🇺🇸

    INCREDIBLE! This album is fantastic! I've been holding out forever for a repress, finally got it at musicdirect. Didn’t wanna pay those crazy flipper prices. Absolutely worth the wait! Great dynamics, fast-paced and powerful bass, excellent instrument separation!

  • Byrd's Top-Tier Adams Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    Qiwguo2206April 30, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Choosing a favorite recording is tough, just can't do it. But this one's absolutely in my top 100, maybe even top three by Byrd! Pepper Adams sounds fantastic here. I reckon Blue Note's budget might've stopped some music from coming out, not any lack of talent on this track.

About Donald Byrd

Donald Byrd, born Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II on December 9, 1932, was a trailblazing American trumpeter, composer, and vocalist who left an indelible mark on the world of jazz and rhythm & blues. Renowned as one of the finest hard bop trumpeters following the era of Clifford Brown, Byrd's dynamic and biting style captivated audiences and critics alike. His prolific career spanned decades, during which he recorded extensively both as a leader and a sideman, showcasing his versatility across genres like hard bop, jazz funk, soul jazz, and jazz fusion. In the 1970s, Byrd became a champion of jazz/R&B crossover, producing some of his most funky and celebrated work, often in collaboration with the Mizell Brothers. Beyond his musical achievements, Byrd was also a pioneering jazz educator, inspiring generations of students on African-American college and university campuses. His legacy as a musician and educator continues to influence and inspire, making him a true icon in the world of jazz.
