Donald Byrd-isms is a new series on "All Things Brass and Technology" showcasing the teachings of the legendary Jazz Trumpeter great Donald Byrd. This will be an ongoing series discussing concepts that were taught to me dB while I was Donald Byrd's student at Queens College from 1990-1995. In this video, Professor Byrd teaches me his methodology in regards to practicing scales. Enjoy. dB
Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II (December 9, 1932 - February 4, 2013) (Detroit, Michigan, US) was an American jazz and rhythm & blues trumpeter and vocalist. A sideman for many other jazz musicians of his generation, Byrd was known as one of the rare bebop jazz musicians who successfully explored funk and soul while remaining a jazz artist. As a bandleader, Byrd was an influence on the early career of Herbie Hancock.
