THE BLACKBYRDS [FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE/ FOR THE ARCHIVES]

Yes. Them again. I love The Blackbyrds dammit!

a-30725-1168591271.jpg

This amazing album is the product of six full-time
Howard University students taking the direction of
department head and jazz great Donald Byrd into the
Fantasy Studios along with the aid of production
wizard Larry Mizell. The result is some of the finest
groove-oriented jazz music ever recorded. The rhythm
section of Joe Hall on bass and Keith Killgo on drums
provides a tight foundation for the Blackbyrds to
enhance any dancefloor with their soulful
explorations. With Kevin Toney supplying beautiful
keyboard work and Barney Perry hitting listeners up
with his chicken-scratch guitar, the skeletal
framework for what could be called optimistic funk was
firmly established by this debut record. Recommended
songs include Do It, Fluid, Reggins, and Summer Love,
although the overall consistency of quality tracks on
The Blackbyrds is reason enough to give the album a
complete listen.

Enjoy!
