Donald Byrd • Getting Down to Business

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Trumpeter Donald Byrd's second jazz album during his comeback after years of playing R&B/funk and then totally neglecting his horn finds him starting to regain his former form. The strong supporting cast (altoist Kenny Garrett, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Donald Brown, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Al Foster) sometimes overshadows the leader on this CD but the music overall (modern hard bop) is rewarding. The sextet performs originals by Byrd, Henderson, Donald Brown, Bobby Hutcherson, James Williams and Duke Ellington ("I Got It Bad").

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El segundo álbum de jazz del trompetista Donald Byrd durante su regreso después de años de tocar R&B/funk y luego descuidar por completo su trompa lo encuentra comenzando a recuperar su forma anterior. El fuerte elenco de apoyo (el altoista Kenny Garrett, el saxofonista tenor Joe Henderson, el pianista Donald Brown, el bajista Peter Washington y el baterista Al Foster) a veces eclipsa al líder en este CD, pero la música en general (hard bop moderno) es gratificante. El sexteto interpreta temas originales de Byrd, Henderson, Donald Brown, Bobby Hutcherson, James Williams y Duke Ellington ("I Got It Bad").
