As I as putting together the Roy Ayers birthday profile playlist up pops
Donald Byrd and "Dominoes", so I refreshed my memory on his "Places And Spaces" album from 1975. Is there a better jazz funk album?
As well as "Dominoes" it contains, of course, the title track "Places And
Spaces" along with "Change (Makes You Want To Hustle)" (video below). There is also a cover of The Temptation's classic "Just My Imagination".
Most songs were written by the Mizell brothers Larry and Alphonso aka
'Fonce' who was a member of 'The Corporation' i.e. Motown's hit-making
factory. They joined Byrd when Motown relocated to L.A. in 1972.
