City Called Heaven, A album for sale Product Description

City Called Heaven, A album for sale by Donald Byrd was released on the Landmark label. Byrd's third and last album for Orrin Keepnews' Landmark label -- Part Three of his mainstream comeback -- is another mostly straightahead affair with a sextet, sounding a few high-minded themes and taking a few unusual twists. Twice, Art Blakey is memorialized with drummer Carl Allen's sturdy application of the Blakey shuffle ("King Arthur," "Byrd Song"), but his drumming also salutes the M-Base brigade on the concluding "Not Necessarily the Blues." "A City Called Heaven," the spiritual-turned-title track with an nearly operatic vocal by mezzo-soprano Lorice Stevens, gets a moving extended modal treatment where Byrd has some rapid flurries that usually, but not always, hit their mark. City Called Heaven, A CD music contains a single disc with 8 songs. ...See Full Description
