Released six months after Bitches Brew, Electric Byrd catches Donald Byrd hearing the same thing Miles heard and going somewhere else with it. The Detroit hard bop trumpeter keeps his tone dramatic and lyrical, but it arrives soaked in echo, floating over electric piano, guitar and a wide bed of percussion. Recorded at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs in 1970.
The band is the story. Ron Carter on bass and Mickey Roker on drums hold the floor, Duke Pearson plays electric piano, a reed section of Frank Foster, Jerry Dodgion, Lew Tabackin and Pepper Adams fills the middle, and Brazilians Airto Moreira and Hermeto Pascoal bring percussion and flute that push the whole session somewhere humid and unfamiliar. Xibaba is Airto's tune and it is the center of gravity.
The closing stretch turns funky in a way that points straight at the Mizell Brothers records Byrd would cut a few years later. A glimpse of an artist mid transition, and one of the better sounding jazz records of its moment.

Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
