Petebangor Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) RIP Donald https://youtu.be/Jcjv4ZjeBQY A musical genius, so ahead of his time, the 'Places and Spaces' album is one of my desert island albums. Wind Parade is in my alltime top 10 tracks, pure genius. Edited February 9, 2013 by petebangor Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest marco Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What a sad loss. Inspirational music, from the 60s Blue Note albums - A New Perspective is a personal favourite - through all the great collaborations with Larry and Fonze Mizell in the 70s and beyond. Donald Byrd was constantly innovating at the highest level of musicianship yet always kept one ear on the dancefloor. Both with Duke Pearson in the 60s and the Mizell brothers later on, Donald produced some of the greatest jazz music and greatest dance music ever made. Thank you Donald and RIP.
