Most, if not all, of the vinyl posted here was from a collector who took VERY good care of his vinyl. There ARE some clear tape issues on covers that we will point out if applicable. These were done by the orginal owner.
Free Form is an album by American trumpeter Donald Byrd featuring performances by Byrd with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Butch Warren, and Billy Higgins recorded in 1961 and released on the Blue Note label in 1962.
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Free Form is both a smorgasbord of modern jazz styles and a breakthrough album showing the Detroit born trumpeter's versatility and interest in diversity... This may be close to Donald Byrd's best early work, a strong statement that is by no means homogeneous, but expresses many of the avenues in jazz he was exploring while finding his own unique voice on the trumpet".
