This Bebop give to us some advantages, like this :
1. currently one of my favourite pieces of music
This one didn't catch me at first, I couldn't understand it. But after travelling for eight months all I wanted to do when I got home was to play this CD.

It has complex rhythms and melodies, a good album to keep you on the edge of your seat. Donald Byrd is excellent as are his co-musicians.

I think if you like Miles Davis you will like this one.

Languishing in the vaults for over 25 years, this 1970 Blue Note release by trumpeter
Donald Byrd finally saw the light of day (on vinyl) in 1995. It was recorded when jazz-
fusion was getting ready to make a HUGE splash on the scene. Byrd, himself, blamed
Blue Note for not releasing it at the time. He stated, "We were already experimenting
in so-called fusion before anyone else. If it didn't get out there ahead of the others,
you can blame that on the record company." Blue Note, itself, was moving away from
their trademark acoustic, pure-jazz sound they had specialized in for years and going
with a much more commercial r&b, smooth product (Byrd, in particular, took this road
with his subsequent Blue Note albums - his highly commercial 1972 "Black Byrd" album
was the biggest selling Blue Note release up to that time.) I'm so glad I came across
"Kofi" recently and got it - it really sounds like nothing I had ever heard from Byrd...
