[@TheresaTolbert-t3x]

Another, genius of music 🎶

[@plmilligan]

A true legend. I never get tired of his music (the little rasti, Elijah, wild life) all fav's & so different in jazz form. His music has inspired me for many many years! LEGEND!❤️

I haven't forgotten at ALL! Jazz is a STAPLE around my home, and without QUESTION, I often find myself humming a tune by this brother! You can't even mention Blue Note records without speaking about Dr. Donald Byrd, just as you can't mention Columbia records without Miles Davis coming out of your mouth! I don't think life was long enough for Doanald Bryd to do all the things he wanted to do, but he sure did MANY of them, from his master penmanship of compositions, and playing, to his introduction of musicians and legendary selections of artists whom he chose, Donald Byrd will NEVER be FORGOTTEN! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😁

His music lives on in my house! Just played Places and Spaces the other day ❤

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.👊🏿✌🏿🇿🇦
