Donald Byrd • I'm Tryin' to Get Home

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
A follow-up to trumpeter Donald Byrd's hit A New Perspective, this LP also features an eight-voice choir conducted by Coleridge Perkinson and arrangements by Duke Pearson and the leader. The vocalists have a larger role than in the earlier date and Byrd's quintet (with tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine and pianist Herbie Hancock) is augmented by organist Freddie Roach, guitarist Grant Green and a dozen brass players. But despite some strong moments, the date (which resulted in no real hits) does not quite reach the heights of A New Perspective although it has plenty of interesting moments.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Continuación del exitoso A New Perspective del trompetista Donald Byrd, este LP cuenta también con un coro a ocho voces dirigido por Coleridge Perkinson y arreglos de Duke Pearson y el líder. Los vocalistas tienen un papel más importante que en la primera fecha y el quinteto de Byrd (con el saxofonista tenor Stanley Turrentine y el pianista Herbie Hancock) se ve aumentado por el organista Freddie Roach, el guitarrista Grant Green y una docena de músicos de metal. Pero a pesar de algunos momentos fuertes, la fecha (que no dio lugar a ningún éxito real) no alcanza las alturas de A New Perspective, aunque tiene muchos momentos interesantes.
