Donald Byrd - Star Trippin

Review by Andriy Zubko

The album Star Trippin by Donald Byrd is a fusion of jazz, funk, and electronic music that takes the listener on a musical journey through the cosmos. The album features a range of talented musicians, including keyboardist Isaac Hayes, guitarist David T. Walker, and drummer Harvey Mason, Jr.

The opening track, "Star Trippin," sets the tone for the album with its funky bassline and spacey synthesizers. The album also features a cover of Stevie Wonder's "You and I," which showcases Byrd's smooth trumpet playing and Hayes' soulful vocals.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Loving You," which features a groovy bassline and catchy hook that will have listeners tapping their feet. The album closes with "Wild Life," a high-energy track that features some impressive soloing from Byrd and the other musicians.
