1961 was a prolific year in the musical life of Donald Byrd that found the great trumpeter at the very peak of his hard bop era. That year alone Byrd would record four stellar sessions: “Chant", “The Cat Walk", “Royal Flush", and “Free Form". Byrd had been honing a sharp new rhythm section with the introduction of pianist Herbie Hancock who along with bassist Butch Warren and drummer Billy Higgins brought a modern yet soulful sound to the music. The final touch was inviting saxophonist Wayne Shorter, who was bringing a modernist edge to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers at the time, to join Byrd on the frontline. Presenting four Byrd originals, and one by Hancock, the set covered a broad stylistic range from the sanctified opener “Pentecostal Feeling" to the easy-going swinger “Nai Nai" to the evocative and expansive closing title track.

BLUE NOTE TONE POET EDITION: Stereo, produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analogue master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a gatefold sleeve with deluxe tip-on jacket.
