At The Half Note Cafe, Vol. 1 Donald Byrd SKU: 3814586 Barcode: 00602438145867 33.00 £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet Released Date: 3rd February 2023 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info 180-gram LP Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape Plated and pressed at RTI Deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket Trumpeter Donald Byrd was just two years into his two-decade long Blue Note recording career when he brought his quintet in to Manhattan’s Half Note Café in November 1960 to record this soulful, swinging, and highly enjoyable live set of hard bop featuring Pepper Adams on baritone saxophone, Duke Pearson on piano, Laymon Jackson on bass, and Lex Humphries on drums. Byrd had already established himself as a leading trumpeter on the scene and was riding high on a creative hot streak that produced the studio albums Off To The Races, Byrd In Hand, Fuego, and Byrd In Flight. After an introduction by WOV disc jockey Ruth Mason (who would later become Ruth Lion, wife of Blue Note founder Alfred Lion), the band hits the ground running on Pearson’s up-tempo “My Girl Shirl” before downshifting into Byrd’s blues “Soulful Kiddy.” Side 2 opens with a beautiful ballad performance of “A Portrait of Jennie” before stretching out on another original blues by Byrd titled “Cecile” and concluding Volume 1 with the band’s theme “Pure D. Funk.” Artist Donald Byrd Genre Jazz Label Blue Note Tone Poet Buying Options 180g 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 180g , 1LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Side A 1.
