Donald Byrd "Electric Byrd" - 1970

"This album can be understood as Byrd\'s
formidable response to the musical challenges set down by trumpet-rival Miles Davis with his epic Bitches Brew. An album often lumped in with Donald Byrd's more artistically barren work of the 1970s, Electric Byrd is a misunderstood masterpiece that should be investigated." - By John Ballon, AllAboutJazz.com

Investigated, it should be. Given a fair listen to, it should be as well. But masterpiece, I'd have to disagree. A step in the right direction, but as you can plainly hear, almost a copy-cat album, more an experimentation. Just my opinion, but I'll be listing a few of his heavy outings in the next few days. Stay tuned, and decide for yourself. Peace!
