Donald Byrd Quintet - Parisian Thoroughfare (2000)

personnel :

Double Bass – Doug Watkins
Drums – Art Taylor
Piano – Walter Davis Jr.
Saxophone [Tenor] – Bobby Jaspar
Trumpet – Donald Byrd

The second of two sets that document a Paris concert by trumpeter Donald Byrd, Parisian Thoroughfare features Bobby Jaspar on tenor and flute, pianist Walter Davis, Jr., bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Taylor. Other than Byrd's "At This Time" and Davis' "Formidable," the quintet sticks to bop standards, many of which are quite concise and clock in at around three minutes. Longer versions of the title track (a high point) and "52nd Street Theme" are exceptions. This spirited, bop-oriented music is the equal of the first volume.~Scott Yanow
