    [Notes]

    In July 1973, New York's Blue Note Records assembled an artists showcase for
    Switzerland's Montreux Jazz Festival. The performers included Bobbi
    Humphrey, Bobby Hutcherson, Ronnie Foster, Marlena Shaw, and Donald Byrd.
    Following the gigs, the label released a series of albums from them with the
    same title: Live: Cookin' with Blue Note at Montreux. Byrd's performance was
    shelved, perhaps because Black Byrd, his collaboration with Larry and Fonce
    Mizell, became a crossover R&B hit and was still on the charts. The tapes
    sat for decades until Gilles Peterson mentioned them to label boss Don Was
    in 2013 after Byrd died. Was heard the 2" master tapes and was blown away.
    Blue Note finally releases the album in commemoration of his 90th birthday.
    Byrd's ten-piece Montreux band included Fonce on trumpet, Larry on synths,
    saxophonists Nathan Davis and Allan Barnes, electric pianist Kevin Toney,
    guitarist Barney Perry, electric bassist Henry Franklin, drummer Keith
    Killgo, and conguero/percussionist Ray Armando.

    This impeccably recorded set contains five tunes (three appear only here),
    lasting just over 45 minutes. The gig opened with "Black Byrd." Synth,
    hi-hat, and percussion introduce the jam's iconic vamp as Byrd, Fonce, and
    Killgo chant. This version contains a massive, incessant groove, framing
    Davis' soaring tenor solo, and interplay between drummer and percussionist;
    it's hypnotic and utterly danceable. Byrd and company throw the crowd a
    curve by covering Stevie Wonder's "You've Got It Bad Girl." The silky soul
    ballad is articulated by the rhythm section before the drummers deliver a
    Latin funk vamp. The tempo increases as Byrd and Davis deliver killer modal
    solos atop Franklin's roiling bassline, spiky guitar, synth, and piano. They
    briefly return to the melody, but then move into denser exploration. "The
    East" is introduced by a funk riff before the trumpeters fall in; they play
    together, then dovetail wonderfully in gorgeous harmonic interplay. A
    simple, circular wah-wah guitar riff signals the band, and they cut loose
    with overdriven funk and ride it hard for another seven minutes. Longest
    track "Kwame" begins in spacey abstraction as soprano sax and synth offer
    drones before electric piano, drums, guitar, and bass fall in with a dark,
    Weather Report-esque vamp, which gathers force and melodic intensity until
    it explodes in a collision of modal jazz, bluesy funk, and proto-Afrobeat,
    with all four horns burning in unison before Barnes delivers a smoking tenor
    break. Closer "Poco-Mania" is a burner played at furious bebop tempo; the
    head -- again played by all horns -- is knotty, driving, and unrelenting in
    its tension and intensity. Byrd takes the first solo and charges into the
    rhythm section's maelstrom. Davis and Barnes deliver powerful solos before
    Byrd initiates an even faster tempo, and the band accelerates until they
    suddenly quit in dramatic fashion. Live: Cookin' with Blue Note at Montreux,
    July 5, 1973 is not only an astonishing, unearthed treasure for Byrd's fans
    on his birthday, it's also more than that -- it's a bona fide '70s jazz-funk
    classic.
