Byrd Jazz, recorded live in Detroit on August 23rd, 1955, captures the first recording as featured artist for trumpeter Donald Byrd. This Transition LP is a perfect example of the dynamism of the mid-1950s Detroit jazz scene, as it showcases young local talents such as tenor saxophonist Yusef Lateef, pianist Barry Harris and Bernard McKinney on euphonium. With its “mondrianesque” cover, Byrd Jazz (TRLP 5) has been a longtime collector’s favorite and is now available in deluxe edition: 180g pressing, tip-on cover, and a 12-page booklet including the original notes by producer Tom Wilson, and an essay written by Brian Priestley.

Limited Edition 1000 copies.
Remastered from the original master tapes.
