Recorded 1967 and released the following year as the title track of the album.
I have listened to somd of Donald's albums over the years but only stumbled across this at the beginning of lockdown. It will always remind me of that time. It is a classic Blue Note jazz recording. Fizzing with energy, detail and beautiful tone. The trumpet and sax are highlights for me as well as thd drums of course. The shimmer of the ride cymbal not just the initial sound of drumstick tip hitting the metal. Donald's trumpet truly soars like a Byrd
Dynamics galore, it has become one of my system test tracks. Dipole tweeters have further emphasised the brilliant musicianship, emotion and recording quality.
This track is the only one written by Byrd on this album but in my opinion is the best. There are vocals of sorts on this track.
"Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all ?" Listen to the track and find out
