"This album, a recording of Donald Byrd’s performance at the July 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival, pulls these strands together. It finds the trumpeter Byrd leading a group of technically advanced students — who went on to record as The Blackbyrds — and seasoned pros such as the Mizell Brothers. Synths and lashings of wah-wah guitar keep the beats funky, and strong solos from Byrd, who made his name with Art Blakey in the mid-1950s, maintain grip."
