❝ Some god of groove must have kissed or at least caressed, on a roughly indefinable day at the beginning of the seventh decade of the twelfth century, the Detroit trumpeter Donald Byrd, a first-hour hard-bopper and a glitzy funkster of the second.
❝ With this album, Donald decidedly changes course and, leaving Hard Bop behind, skillfully sails toward crossover music and more specifically a jazz infused with funk with R&B and soul nuances.
❝ This is Byrd’s last Hard Bop album before his “transition” to fusion, an artistic choice culminating in the 1973 masterpiece “Black Byrd.”
❝ From the album cover, Donald Byrd lays down his royal flush, and that’s it—all bets are off.
