Who cares about the music now, RVG and Reid Miles already won the battle of the mind? Visual significance aside, the music here has really grown on me. I first heard this release in the sample-mad days of the mid-nineties. The soulful groove was lost on this super-focused youth looking for 1 bar nuts. Voices on a Blue Note? I couldn't be bothered. But after listening to years worth of jazz records, the voices and arrangement become something to stand on. The moment Byrd's trumpet enters on \"Cristo\" and that piano interplay? So sumptuous, the voices frame it perfectly. Jazz can be tiring to listen to sometimes, vocal arrangements help to take the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g black vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eall-analog remaster cut from the original tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efeaturing \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Donald+Byrd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDonald Byrd\u003c\/a\u003e (t), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Hank+Mobley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHank Mobley\u003c\/a\u003e (t. sax), Donald Best (vibes), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Kenny+Burrell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eKenny Burrell\u003c\/a\u003e (g), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Herbie+Hancock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHerbie Hancock\u003c\/a\u003e (p), Butch Warren (b), Lex Humphries (d)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1964\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Blue Note Records 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by the mngmt 07\/2015\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Donald Byrd","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":40594220679258,"sku":"fr-5060","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/donaldbyrd-newpersepctive-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762285012","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/donald-byrd-new-perspective-blue-note-classic-vinyl-series-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
