Donald Byrd – Royal Flush (Vinyl, Blue Note Classic Series)
Donald Byrd was off to the races after joining the Blue Note roster in 1958 and had fully hit his hard-bop stride by 1961 when he laid down his excellent album Royal Flush. Joining the trumpeter was a state-of-the-art rhythm section featuring a young Herbie Hancock on piano (Hancock was making just his second appearance on a Blue Note recording date following Byrd s Chant session earlier that year), Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, along with Byrd s frequent frontline collaborator Pepper Adams on baritone saxophone. Side 1 consists of two Byrd originals— Hush and Jorgie s —which bookend a showstopping performance of the Frank Sinatra ballad I m a Fool to Want You. Side 2 opens with two more pieces by Byrd— Shangri-La and 6M s —before the set comes to a close with Hancock s original Requiem.
This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
