This digital stereo LP record was released on Landmark Records in 1988. Donald Byrd ( trumpet/flugelhorn/cornet)  is featured with Kenny Garrett ( alto sax ), Mulgrew Miller ( piano ), Rufus Reid ( bass ) and Marvin “Smitty” Smith ( drums ). A beautifully sensitive album from Donald Byrd, quite a change from his better-known jazz funk work of the 70s and early 80s and part of a back-to-basics move he made in part of that latter decade! The album’s very much in the best straight mode of the Landmark Records label scene of the time. All players who really bring a lot of fire to the record, and almost push Byrd back to his pre-electric 60s years on Blue Note. Mike Daugherty plays synth on two tracks – using the instrument in gentle, string-like ways – but overall the record is proudly acoustic at most moments.
