Product Description
Contents: [Standard Edition] [UHQCD] To commemorate the 90th anniversary of his birth and the discovery of live recordings from 1973, Donald Byrd's works on Blue Note have been carefully selected and reissued, featuring titles from his late mainstream to New Note era that are being released on UHQCD for the first time. A total of 10 titles, one of which is being released on CD in Japan for the first time. This album is one of Byrd's finest masterpieces, with a refreshing jacket that captures the movement of an airplane and clouds in a blue sky using stop-motion. Tracks like "Change" and "Dominoes," driven by the rhythm section of Chuck Rainey and Harvey Mason, the Marvin Gaye-esque mellow groove of "You And Music," and the cover of The Temptations' "Just My Imagination" are all excellent pieces that evoke a "Sky High" feeling.
