Label: BLUE NOTE Catalog: 724359084220 Format: CD Donald Byrd: trumpet, Wayne Shorter: tenor sax, Herbie Hancock: piano, Butch WarrenL Bass, Billy Higgins: drumsPentacostal Feeling / Night Flower / Nai Nai / French Spice / Free Form / Three Wishes Not only does Donald Byrd's 1961 outing featuring a second-to-none line-up, this recording has some top-notch writing on it as well. Byrd's trumpet tips his hat more in the direction of Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan with a lean tone and no orbit-inducing outbursts. If not his best, then a close second! |
