Review
by Stephen Cook
Before making his mark with several fine Blue Note albums from the late '50s and throughout the '60s (his stay with the label continued until 1978), trumpeter Donald Byrd got his start with several blowing dates for Savoy, Prestige, and a few other independents. This 1955 date for Savoy pitted Byrd with Basie alum and tenor saxophonist Frank Foster, pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Kenny Clarke. The group romps through a mix of standards ("Someone to Watch Over Me," "Star Eyes"), a Foster original ("Winterset"), and some band collaborations. While not on par with Byrd's much more polished efforts for Blue Note, Byrd's Word is fine for fans in the mood for some loose '50s hard bop.

Antes de dejar su huella con varios álbumes de Blue Note de finales de los 50 y a lo largo de los 60 (su estancia en el sello continuó hasta 1978), el trompetista Donald Byrd se inició con varias fechas de soplado para Savoy, Prestige y algunos otros independientes. Esta fecha de 1955 para Savoy enfrentó a Byrd con el ex alumno de Basie y saxofonista tenor Frank Foster, el pianista Hank Jones, el bajista Paul Chambers y el baterista Kenny Clarke. El grupo hace una mezcla de estándares ("Someone to Watch Over Me", "Star Eyes"), un original de Foster ("Winterset") y algunas colaboraciones de la banda. Aunque no está a la altura de los esfuerzos mucho más pulidos de Byrd para Blue Note, Byrd's Word está bien para los fans con ganas de un poco de hard bop de los 50.
