Description

Hailing from the Detroit jazz scene, trumpeter Donald Byrd and baritonist Pepper Adams join forces with guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Louis Hayes (aka Hey Lewis) to form the all-star sextet heard on 1960s Motor City Scene (also issued as Stardust). The album opens with Stardust, or music to get lost in as described by All About Jazz. Adams then takes the lead on Philson followed by Chambers and Hayes up-tempo version of Trio. Libeccio reflects a contrast of talent from the entire sextet while the proceedings end on a high note with their hard-swinging rendition of Bitty Ditty.
