Donald Byrd: Byrd in Flight

Byrd in Flight: Although I'm partial to his more experimental, early 70's sound (with Mizell production), this is a great hard-bop (I think that's the right term) album.

The Mizell Brothers: Sky High

Sky High
Thanks to Alley Al who posted this over at Biff's Hip-Hop site. If unfamiliar with them, in the mid to late 70s the Mizell Brothers produced some of the best albums from Bobbi Humphrey, The Blackbyrds, and Donald Byrd, to name a few. I don't think this is the best Mizell Brothers compilation (there's one called simply Mizell on Blue Note that has more Donald Byrd tracks) but this one is out-of-print so I've re-upped it here.
