Episode 6 of To Be or Not to Bop focuses on Donald Byrd — one of the greatest leaders in Black music.
This episode is both an introduction and a deep listen. We begin with The Cat Walk, a record that opens the door to Byrd’s sound, values, and artistic direction during a crucial period of his career.
Along the way, I talk about:
Donald Byrd as a trumpet master, bandleader, and composer
His role as a leader of Black music and culture, from bebop and beyond
His importance as an educator and mentor to generations of musicians
His long-running musical partnership with Pepper Adams
And personal stories from my own experiences with Donald Byrd, and what I learned from him on and off the bandstand
Donald Byrd didn’t just follow the music — he helped shape where it went next.
If you know the name but not the full story, this episode is a great place to start.
New episodes of To Be or Not to Bop drop weekly.
Thanks for listening, watching, and being part of the conversation.
