Donald Byrd – Free Form (Blue Note Tone Poet Edition) (180G) [LP]
Description
1961 was a prolific year for Donald Byrd that found the trumpeter at the peak of his hard bop era. That year alone Byrd would record four stellar sessions: Chant, The Cat Walk, Royal Flush, and Free Form. Byrd had been honing a new rhythm section with the introduction of Herbie Hancock (piano), along with Butch Warren (bass) and Billy Higgins (drums), bringing a modern yet soulful sound. The final touch was inviting saxophonist Wayne Shorter (who was bringing a modernist edge to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers at the time) to join Byrd on the frontline. Presenting four Byrd originals, and one by Hancock, the set covered a broad range from the sanctified opener "Pentecostal Feeling" to the easy-going swinger "Nai Nai" to the evocative closing title track. This stereo Blue Note Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI and packaged in a deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket.
