Our Take

In the late 70s and early 80s, Donald Byrd was the smooth operator of the jazz-funk scene, and his latest compilation album, "Love Has Come Around: The Elektra Records Anthology 1978-1982," is a groovy time capsule of his musical genius.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you know you're in for a funky ride. The infectious basslines, the sultry horns, and Byrd's silky smooth vocals all come together to create a sound that is pure gold.

One of the standout tracks on this album is "Love Has Come Around," a disco-infused banger that will have you hitting the dance floor in no time. Byrd's vocals are on point, and the backing band is tight as ever.

But it's not all about the dance floor. Tracks like "Loving You" showcase Byrd's more introspective side, with heartfelt lyrics and soaring melodies that will tug at your heartstrings.

Overall, "Love Has Come Around: The Elektra Records Anthology 1978-1982" is a must-listen for any fan of jazz-funk music. Donald Byrd may have been ahead of his time, but his music still sounds fresh and exciting today. So grab your bell-bottoms, dust off your platform shoes, and get ready to boogie down to this fantastic compilation.
