Donald Byrd's Jazz-Funk Masterpiece
A fusion of groove and experimentation that symbolizes the innovation of 70s jazz.
Bird's trumpet and Larry Mizell's production create a sophisticated funk sound that permeates the entire album. "Change (Makes You Want To Hustle)" beautifully combines disco beats with jazz improvisation, presenting a musical style that was ahead of its time. The arrangements, which boldly incorporate strings and synthesizers, are also excellent, making this a masterpiece that greatly expanded the possibilities of jazz.
