Donald Byrd captured live and absolutely flying. This is Byrd in full command, stretching out long soulful lines while the band cooks behind him like they are trying to set the club on fire through sheer groove. The Half Note energy is all over it raw, warm, swinging and locked in. The Tone Poet treatment makes it sound like you have somehow smuggled the band into your living room.
