2/4/2010 - Donald Byrd and Random Tunes



This one is a lot less rap oriented than most of the ones I write. I'm short on time, so I'll just keep it to the music. You may have heard samples of this album in DJ Quik or Pete Rock tunes, but the album itself is great, too. "Places and Spaces" as you may have heard in the last post, is the shit. Tons of ill material here. It branches out and sounds a little Disco at points, but that was Donald for you. Here's the album I've been gushing about, the cover is above. I didn't do it justice, just give it a try.

Donald Byrd - Places and Spaces (1975)


Here are a couple ill bonus songs.

"Mr. Funky Samba"


"Maracatu Atomico"


and who can forget "Friends"?
