Jazz trumpeter Byrd’s critically acclaimed career has assured the Detroit native his rightful place as one of the most respected musicians of the 20th century. Having successfully transitioned to Jazz Fusion in the 1970s, creating four albums on Blue Note including the highly influential ‘Places And Spaces’, Byrd continued to explore the fertile possibilities of fusion with four albums recorded for Elektra Records between 1978 and 1982.
Essential tracks produced by Byrd include the uptempo jazz-funkdisco tracks ‘Thank You For Funking Up My Life’, ‘Loving You’, ‘Have You Heard The News’, ‘Pretty Baby’ and ‘People Suppose To Be Free’ alongside the deeper jazz-fusion cuts of ‘Sunning In Your Loveshine’, ‘Your Love Is My Ecstasy’, ‘Gold The Moon, White The Sun’ and ‘Loving You’, which reached #74 on the Billboard R&B chart early in 1979.
The Isaac Hayes produced tracks include ‘Love Has Come Around’ (Byrd’s biggest R&B hit at #15), the dancefloor work outs ‘Sexy Dancer’, (R&B #38), ‘Star Trippin’ and ‘I Love Your Love’ plus the rich Hayes-influenced ballads ‘I Feel Like Loving You Today’ and ‘Falling’ which sit with the deeper jazz-fusion compositions.
