Donald Byrd's 1974 funk/R&B fusion masterpiece, Stepping Into Tomorrow, was the third album the trumpet legend made in collaboration with visionary producer Larry Mizell. Featuring the standout title track and "Think Twice," the album became a touchstone for future hip-hop generations and features Gary Bartz, Fonce Mizell, Chuck Rainey, Harvey Mason and others. This stereo Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
