Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II (December 9, 1932 – February 4, 2013)

As the very sad news of a Jazz Funk legend's passing reaches us, I thought I'd share one of my favourite albums of the great Donald Byrd with you! 

 

 

I honestly cannot remember a month going by since the early '70's that I have not played a Donald Byrd track!
