Donald Byrd: Byrd In Flight (Tone Poet 180g) Vinyl LP

"The high-spirited soloing of trumpeter Donald Byrd and tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley on 'Ghana'—the opening track of Byrd In Flight—lets listeners know that they are in for an exceptional musical experience. In addition to Mobley, Byrd is joined by Jackie Mclean on alto saxophone, Duke Pearson on piano, bassists Doug Watkins and Reggie Workman, and drummer Lex Humphries on these sessions from 1960. Other highlights include Byrd’s stunning ballad tour-de-force on 'Little Girl Blue' and the hard bop swingers 'My Girl Shirl' and 'Lex,' the latter featuring an especially soulful solo from Mobley." - Blue Note Records 180g black vinyl pressing housed in glossy tip-on gatefold sleeve  part of Blue Note's Tone Poet 180g audiophile remaster series all-analog remaster cut from the original tapes first time on vinyl since 2008 featuring Donald Byrd (t), Hank Mobley (t. sax), Jackie McLean (a. sax), Duke Pearson (p), Doug Watkins (b), Reggie Workman (b), Lex Humphries (d) music label: Blue Not
