    Haven't heard this fantastic album sound so lively and crisp before. I usually go for classic black vinyl, but this release is so damn gorgeous, matching the cover perfectly. Kudos to VMP.

  • Optimal's Static Problem Persists

    LpjazLoc33December 31, 2025France🇫🇷

    As usual, Kevin Gray has done an outstanding job, the sound is excellent, the pressing quality impeccable, but as is almost always the case with Optimal, the disc arrives fully charged with static electricity! It's exhausting and it's systematic with this German plant!

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.
