Mark Stryker Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Can anyone provide a definitive recording date (year) for the "Donald Byrd with Strings" album that was recorded in the '50s but not released until the early '80s on Discovery. I've seen at least one discography list it as 1959 but other usually reliable references that have it as 1957. I don't own it but have heard it before -- beautiful album -- but not recently, when I've been listening to so much Byrd I think I could might be able to tell which year by the sound of his trumpet. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david weiss Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 The LP says..... Recorded in New York 1957 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stryker Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks -- 57 does make more sense because Byrd wasn't signed to BN at the time and was recording all over the place in the earlier period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
