Classic 1972 album. If there's one word to summarize Donald Byrd's career, it's undoubtedly "eclectic." The trumpet player recorded his share of straight-ahead hard-bop, but he bra nched out pretty far from that central sound, adding vocal choir experiments on the groundbreaking A New Perspective, dabbling in soul jazz in the late '60s, zoning out with space-age fusion sounds in the mid '70s, and carving out a seriously funky groove on Ethiopian Knights.
