Wind Parade was always my favorite Donald Byrd track, mainly from the Black Moon sample of it. Here's something I made a while ago using a different part of it. A quick little snippet:

F*CK. That sucks... didn't know he passed away. Big loss...

Maybe I'm just too young to see them, but I feel like... as the legends die, there aren't new legends stepping up to take their place. Instead, we get new pop artists.

What makes a legend? Respect & talent. What makes a pop artist? Coverage. It's just too bad that, as the pop coverage gets bigger, the talent gets more obscured.
