For all intents and purposes, a Jazz Messengers session issued under Donald Byrd's name, Byrd's Eye View, captures the young trumpeter in full command of his estimable powers -- the visceral intensity of this music is remarkable, galvanized by the typically stellar playing of drummer Art Blakey, pianist Horace Silver, tenorist Hank Mobley, and bassist Doug Watkins. Fellow trumpeter Joe Gordon pushes Byrd to new extremes -- his solos are as physical as a heavyweight boxer yet as graceful as a ballerina. And despite the length and scope of the tracks, Byrd remains in complete control, performing with an authority and technical prowess that belie his age. An excellent hard bop date most readily available via the 2002 Blue Note reissue The Transition Sessions.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          CAUTION: The vinyl is only FAIR+ TO GOOD- and probably not suitable for repeated, continued playing. Nevertheless, the record plays fine and without skipping, but with considerable, annoying and audible hiss, surface noise and clicks and pops. This record WAS play-graded.

(b)          In the best tradition of Transition records (which used shoddily-glued labels), the labels have fallen off and were crudely re-glued by the !d!ot former owner,  but neither is missing

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          This is the original flat-edge pressing

(e)           Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

(f)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

(g)            This album is presented here mostly for its historical value and as a very rare item, which can be exceedingly difficult to find in any other condition

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

THE COVER IS ONLY ABOUT FAIR+ (F+) WITH EVERY CONCIEVABLE FLAW AND IMPERFECTION YOU CAN IMAGINE: COMPLETELY SEPARATED AND UGLILY TAPED FRONT AND BACK PANELS; RING WEAR, YELLOWING, SCRATCHES, FRAYING ALONG THE EDGES, STAINING ON BACK PANEL; DENTED CORNERS, WRINKLING, YOU NAME IT, IT HAS IT; NONETHELESS, THE FRONT PANEL STILL RETAINS MOST OF ITS GLOSS AND PERIOD CHARM AND CHARACTER.
