Very interesting JD. I had not seen that one before. It has the feel of Miles Davis fusion to it.

Mike

That was a comment of one of the reviewers, and can't imagine that Bitches Brew released a year before didn't have some affect on Donald's thought process. Though I find Donald's approach more melodic, less free form than Miles, yet still with that spacey/psychedelic edge. Not sure how I came across it now, my only Byrd on vinyl, have had it since early '70s, one of the LPs I had to hang onto. Was delighted when the CD was finally released, making it a more easily archived/reproduceable work. Nice to be able to listen to the whole thing without interruption (ie flipping the record).

Have a safe, & productive trip. Catch ya later..........

^^ Looks good SC! I have a few albums with Vinnegar on them but no solo outings.

Possibly my all time favorite jazzman next. It's either Monk or Silver. Love them both!
