About
Donald Byrd contributes four choruses on trumpet, the third of 4 solos on the recording. Taken at an up-tempo swing tempo of 193 BPM over the 16-bar form in C, the improvisation flows with assured, relaxed momentum. Donald Byrd contributes four trumpet choruses of lyrical directness, and Tommy Flanagan closes the solo sequence with four piano choruses of elegant precision. Recorded for the album Paul Chambers Quintet in 1957, the performance captures Donald Byrd at 24 to 25 years old. Minor Run-Down is a hard bop composition by Benny Golson, written for the Paul Chambers Quintet album recorded on May 19, 1957 for Blue Note Records.
Donald Byrd was 24 to 25 years old at the time.
