NEW RELEASES - DONALD BYRD, POLYRHYTHMICS, MED BLU MADLIB FEATURING MAYER HAWTHORNE Posted: 27 Nov 2013 12:11 PM PST DONALD BYRD - KOFI A fantastic set of tracks that was recorded at the cusp of the 70s, but which wasn't (for some strange reason) released until many years later! Donald Byrd's playing here with two different larger groups, and the music is a perfect bridge between his spacey late 60s attempts to mimic Miles Davis, and his tighter early 70s jazz funk work with Larry Mizell. The instrumentation's a bit different than usual, and includes a warm frontline of Frank Foster on tenor, Lew Tabackin on flute and tenor, and William Campbell on trombone – all working with these charts that are full and flowing – really strong, soulful elements that get some further great touches from Duke Pearson on Fender Rhodes! Rhythms echo some of Pearson's own great music of the time, with lots of Brazilian undercurrents – no surprise, given that Duke produced the record – and titles include "Kofi", "Fufu", "Perpetual Love", and "Elmina". Special limited edition also features a bonus 10" piece of vinyl – with the group's own version of Frank Foster's "Loud Minority". (Collectors edition is limited to 300 copies.)  ~  Dusty Groove
