Description Hide Show LP – This mono Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at Record Technology Inc. (RTI), and packaged in a deluxe tip-on jacket with a booklet. Recorded in 1955 for producer Tom Wilsons short-lived Boston-based label Transition Records, Byrds Eye View was trumpeter Donald Byrds first issued recording as a leader. The date presented Byrd at the helm of what was then the current line-up of The Jazz Messengers with tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, pianist Horace Silver, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Blakey. Local Boston area trumpeter Joe Gordon joins the band for some friendly brass sparring with Byrd on several numbers, further adding to the albums jovial air of a blowing session. Everyone is in fine form on this 5-song set with Side A consisting of an extended stroll through Watkins laid-back original Dougs Blues followed by some inspired trading between Byrd and Gordon on El Sino. A beautiful rendition of the ballad Everything Happens To Me and two swinging Mobley pieces comprise Side B, bringing this highly-enjoyable date to a close.
