::::
:::: An incredible album from Donald Byrd.. hard, funky, and with
:::: more of an edge than most of his other Blue Note work! The sound
:::: on the album's incredibly sinister -- really concerned with
:::: downward chord turns in moody rhythms -- played with a real
:::: sense of soul by a frontline that features Byrd, Hank Mobley,
:::: and Sonny Red. Cedar Walton drives most of the tunes with
:::: hypnotic lines on piano, and the rest of the rhythm's cooked up
:::: by Walter Booker on bass and Billy Higgins on drums. Includes
:::: the massively hard funky title cut, "Blackjack", plus "Beale
:::: Street", "Loki", and some other nice groovers. Red and Mobley
:::: are amazing, and Byrd's solos are some of his cleanest and
:::: leanest of the 60s!
::::
:::: Track 7 was previously unreleased.
::::
:::: Another gem for our Blue Note archives. Enjoy!
