Cat Walk

Cat Walk

Whether it was playing at recorded jam sessions for Prestige in the 1950s or becoming a major commercial success in the 1970s with his funk/R&B recordings Donald Byrd was in the musical headlines for decades. But the finest group of his career was the quintet that he co-led with baritonist Pepper Adams during 1958-62. The blend between Byrd and Adams and the sparks that always flew when they performed together were always mutually inspiring. The Cat Walk is arguably their finest recorded collaboration. With pianist Duke Pearson, bassist Laymon Jackson and drummer Philly Joe Jones, The Cat Walk has an all-star lineup. The results are quintessential hard bop that is essential and certainly a highlight in the careers of Donald Byrd, Pepper Adams and Duke Pearson. The definitive versions of Blue Note are on XRCD24 - the optimization of CD mastering and manufacturing. Plays on all standard CD players.
