Recorded in 1956 for producer Tom Wilson's Transition Records, Byrd Blows on Beacon Hill presents trumpeter Donald Byrd in a relaxed quartet setting. Joined by Doug Watkins on bass, Boston-area musicians Ray Santisi on piano and Jim Zitano on drums, Byrd delivers a standards-heavy set recorded on a rainy spring afternoon in the Beacon Hill home of engineer Steve Fassett. This casual atmosphere contributes to the album's easygoing charm and intimate feel. Highlights include Byrd's lyrical rendition of Joe Sullivan's 'Little Rock Getaway' and beautiful interpretations of 'Polka Dots and Moonbeams,' 'If I Love Again,' and 'Stella by Starlight.' The trumpeter steps back on tracks like 'People Will Say We're in Love' and 'What's New,' allowing the trio to really shine.
