Donald Byrd, a talented hard bop trumpeter during his prime (although
rarely reaching the technical heights of Lee Morgan and Freddie
Hubbard), performs a varied repertoire on Mustang!. “Dixie Lee” has
dated rhythms, and “Mustang” was an attempt to achieve a hit on the
level of Morgan’s “The Sidewinder.” However, Byrd sounds fine on
those numbers; he digs into the complex chord changes of “Fly Little
Bird Fly,” is sensitive on “I Got It Bad,” swings on his “I’m So Excited
by You,” and performs his memorable countermelody to “On the
Trail,” which had been recorded earlier by several other musicians.
Teamed with a typically impressive Blue Note crew (altoist Sonny Red,
tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Walter
Booker, and drummer Freddie Waits), Byrd performs high-quality
straight-ahead jazz that fits the modern mainstream of the era. Also
on the CD reissue are a pair of selections (“Gingerbread Boy” and “I’m
So Excited by You”) from an earlier quintet date (with tenorman
Jimmy Heath, Tyner, bassist Walter Booker, and drummer Joe
Chambers) that, despite being excellent, went unissued until 1997.
