Today’s Record
Walking In Rhythm 1975

"Walking in rhythm, walking in rhythm"

Album art

Donald Byrd assembled his students from Howard University and formed the Blackbyrds. brought jazz fusion to the pop charts -- a groove so effortless it sounds like it's moving before you are. The flute floats. The bassline walks. A song about motion, delivered by a band that was going places.

Number six on the Hot 100. Byrd taught them. They taught everyone else.
