jazz album of the week

Written By sam edwards

This week we feature a classic by trumpeter Donald Byrd, "The Cat Walk"!

Released in 1961 on the Blue Note Label, this sessions features Byrd side by side with his partner in crime Pepper Adams along with an all star rhythm section. Featuring tunes by pianist Duke Pearson as well as the Neal Hefti classic "Cute", there is not a dull moment on this album. Driven by the powerful drum work of Philly Joe Jones, the band hits hard from start to finish. Pick up the newly re-issued vinyl copy at Papa Jazz Record Shoppe today!
