1990 studio album by Donald Byrd Sextet featuring Joe Henderson
Getting Down to Business Donald Byrd featuring performances recorded in 1989 and released on the Landmark label the following year.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
Reception
On AllMusic , Scott Yanow observed, "Trumpeter Donald Byrd's second jazz album during his comeback after years of playing R&B/funk and then totally neglecting his horn finds him starting to regain his former form. The strong supporting cast sometimes overshadows the leader on this CD but the music overall (modern hard bop) is rewarding".[ 4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz [ 5]
