REST IN PEACE - DONALD BYRD

I rtealize I'm a little behine in my blogs update. Here's a post I started a while back but didn't get a chance to finish. In early February we lost another of of the jazz greats. Jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd passed away. Now i have been a big fan of the jazz recordings of Donald Byrd and was sorry to hear of his passing. I have lots of Donald's earlier works in my collection and they are all winners. I especially like the recording with baritone sax man, Pepper Adams. Rest in peace Mr. Donald Byrd! You will be missed. In the meantime, groove to some cool Donald Byrd.
