Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Revisiting Pop Jazz of the 1970s Comment: Dr. Donald Byrd was one of the early crossover/smooth jazz artists. This album shows how forward thinking he was within that style so many years before Kenny G., et al. He (Dr. Byrd) knew that blending an r & b feel with a distinct jazz sensibility had lots of potential. This album has good stuff, both musically and historically. Customer Rating: Summary: Jazz, Not Jazz Comment: Who cares if this is not "JAZZ", this is hot stuff. I was a teenager when most of these songs came out. They are as hot today as back in the day. Donald Byrd created a new sound and was not, is not and never has been a "sellout". Life is about change, growth, and evolution. Oh yeah, and feeling in the soul. These songs still make me want to dance, shake my butt, and rock my head. Good stuff that I'm proud to have re-enter my life 30 years later. Customer Rating: Summary: Jazz, funk, and just plain good music. Comment: I am an electic listener. I mostly dig this CD because of the soul or emotion that exudes from it. I'm not a jazz freak, but this CD should be in everyone's collection. Melody, harmony...it is just an excellent pick. I can't tell you my favorite track, but the standouts are "Dominoes," "Places and Spaces," and "Steppin' into Tomorrow." It is illegal to skip tracks once you insert this disc into your player. I repeat...this is an underrated CD if I ever saw one. This is for music lovers...not jazz lovers. Look at all of the hip hop acts that have sampled Byrd's tracks. Great music, and it is a shame that not everyone will hear this sound. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best of the Byrd... Comment: This collection is a very good introduction to Donald Byrd's contemporary jazz sides. I realize that the Jazz purists' out there would beg to differ, but, because of Donald Byrd, I gave more 'straight ahead' jazz artists' a listen (Tatum, Morgan, Monk, etc.) The only reason why I didn't give this collection five stars was the "live" version of Dominoes. Well performed, but I like the original record version! Four stars!!
