Hardbopjazz Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) I just realized the date has already come and gone. Damn, I missed this. Did anyone go see him, or know someone that did get to the concert? Edited February 25, 2009 by Hardbopjazz Quote

I've caught him twice in the past several years....not playing well...but I love Donald Byrd! Quote
