Black Byrd is a 1973 album by Donald Byrd and his first for Blue Note Records produced by Larry Mizell, assisted by his brother, former Motown producer Fonce. In the jazz funk idiom, it is among Blue Note Records’ best selling album releases. The title of the album inspired the name of Byrd’s apprentice group, The Blackbyrds.

Guru's Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1  |  ‘93

I’m doing the unthinkable and actually selling off a few records on eBay, so I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning them in a HumminGuru ultrasonic record cleaning machine. The machine is one of the few times I’ve ever backed a Kickstarter campaign and since it arrived a month ago, it has been in steady use. It certainly tidied up this rare instrumental version of Guru’s classic Jazzmatazz Volume 1, featuring Donald Byrd, Branford Marsalis, Courtney Pine, Lonny Liston Smith and others. How could I give up such a classic? Er, I had two copies, believe it or not. You can only listen to one at a time, however, so it dawned on me that I should sell it and let someone else enjoy these tracks, too.
