Donald Byrd – New Perspective (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Donald Byrd spent the early 1960s pushing hard bop into new emotional territory, and "New Perspective" stands as one of the clearest expressions of that ambition. The integration of a gospel choir into a jazz context was a genuine risk in 1963, and the result influenced a generation of musicians thinking about the intersection of sacred music and modern jazz. "Cristo Redentor" alone has become one of the most covered and sampled moments in the Blue Note catalog.
A magnificent band featuring Hank Mobley, Herbie Hancock and Kenny Burrell helped this trumpet legend create one of his most memorable albums with this 1963 recording. Duke Pearson did the arrangements, and an eight-piece gospel choir helped Byrd reach the spiritual heights he was seeking; the stunning "Cristo Redentor" joins "The Black Disciple," "Elijah," "Chant" and more. This stereo Blue Note Classic Vinyl edition is all-analog mastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl! Blue Note.
