This is a good LP but it's not the best work I've heard from Donald Byrd. The flute and tumpet are the only really things that stand out but everything else is pretty average, as far as funk-jazz goes. There's no real favourite track I have on here or any least favourite. I can play them all without needing to skip any, so that's good. I personally love the album Street Lady so I'm not sure what it is about this one that I don't like as much, maybe it's too slow for me. The vocals on some of the tracks are nice to hear but I prefer instrumental funk. Overall it is a great album to own, just not one of the best out there.
I don't really no what the cover has to do with the album itself because it's a picture from 1897 and if you don't know the artist it might be misleading. You'd think the music contains some old blues-jazz before Donald Byrd was even a thought.
