Dr. Donald Byrd -- Jazz Legend

JAZZ LEGEND: DONALD BYRD: In 1989, guest Donald Byrd shared his jazz career with Tony Brown and a live studio audience. As a sideman for many other jazz musicians of his generation, Byrd was known as one of the only bebop jazz musicians who successfully pioneered the funk and soul genres while remaining a jazz artist. As a bandleader, Byrd influenced the early career of Herbie Hancock.

Almost a year and no comments in this precious and informative interview with the great Dr. Byrd… I’ll be the first. Thank you for uploading this clip. For all his gargantuan accomplishments in music and in education, there remains precious little documentation of Dr. Byrd on KZbin. This is a great thing you’ve done by uploading this. Thank you Tony.

Here's comment from me...I LOVE ME some DONALD BYRD, I am 44 yr old male down in South Africa 🇿🇦, 10 years ago,my best friend introduced me to DONALD BYRD'S UP album,the very first time I heard HOUSE OF RISING SUN I never looked back,that's the album that transitioned me from hip hop,noisy music to the soothing sounds of Jazz and I've never looked back...I didn't know anything about D-BYRD, particularly his erudition,but after seeing this video my respect for him shot through the roof...I'm going down the rabbit hole and going to learn more about him coz I just love the man.👊🏿✌🏿🇿🇦
