Electric Byrd is a jazz fusion album by Donald Byrd released by the Blue Note label in 1970.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4 stars and stated, “Donald Byrd's transitional sessions from 1969-1971 are actually some of the trumpeter's most intriguing work, balancing accessible, funky, Davis-style fusion with legitimate jazz improvisation. Electric Byrd, from 1970, is the best of the bunch, as Byrd absorbs the innovations of Bitches Brew and comes up with one of his most consistent fusion sets of any flavor.”
