Good posts and commentary, pjw. Couldn’t agree more on Byrd as a composerGood Morning frogman. And, as I pointed out, he wrote "Tanya" for Dexter Gordon’s "One Flight Up" session which, IMHO, is one of the best Hard Bop compositions ever. Byrd with Hancock, another great composer, with Pepper for the icing on the cake):Great album that I have in my Donald Byrd collection. Hancock’s career as a musician and composer from the 60’s until now may be un matched by any other musician during the same time period. He has been at it for close to 60 years and still looks like he just turned 60 years of age. He definitely takes good care of himself. One wonders how he managed to do that surrounded by myriads of substance abusers all these years. |
