Donald Byrd: Kofi by John Ballon, published on November 4, 2003 at All About Jazz. An album of previously unreleased material taken from two 1969-1970 sessions which capture the immensely talented trumpeter Donald Byrd in a transitional moment of artistic brilliance. The first two tracks, "Kofi" and "Fufu," were both recorded during the 1969 session, and are the most original and imaginative compositions on the album.

Classic funk jazz. Smooth grooves and killer trance like bass. EVERY jazz aficionado into funky late 60s jazz should own this! I rate this up there with Mile's Kind of Blue!
