Byrd Jazz
Byrd Jazz is an album by trumpeter Donald Byrd recorded in Detroit in 1955 and originally released on Tom Wilson's Transition label. The album contains Byrd's first recordings as a leader (although the sessions that comprised Byrd's Eye View were released first), and was later re-released as First Flight on the Delmark label.
In his review for Allmusic, Scott Yanow stated "all of the music is straightahead and swinging. A fine beginning for the very interesting career of Donald Byrd". The Penguin Guide to Jazz criticized the recording quality, and rated Lateef's soloing as more authoritative than that of Byrd.
All compositions by Donald Byrd except as indicated
* the name of this track on the original LP was Blues but it is Clifford Brown's theme The Blues Walk which was first recorded and released on the 1954 album "Clifford Brown & Max Roach".
