Major Keys work their magic once more with the release of two iconic tracks by celebrated Jazz musician, Donald Byrd. Known for being one of the few jazz artists who successfully explored funk and soul music in the 70s, whilst remaining a leading figure in Jazz (much to the disgruntlement of purists), this 2-track EP salutes 2 records from that exploratory era with the official license and 12 inch reissue of 'Think Twice' & 'Where Are We Going'.'Think Twice': Taken from his 1975 LP 'Stepping Into Tomorrow' released in 1975 on Blue Note Records and produced by the legendary Mizell Brothers, responsible for producing other artists including Gary Bartz, Johnny Hammond, Bobbi Humphrey, as well as Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye. One of Byrd's most recognizable records and a highly sampled song by such well known groups as A Tribe Called Quest and Lisa Lisa with Cult Jam, as well as being later famously covered by Erykah Badu.'Where Are We Going?': Taken from the 1973 album 'Black Byrd', the very first release of Byrd's on Blue Note Records and was released in collaboration with Motown Records. Produced by Larry Mizell and Larry Gordon, then later performed by Marvin Gaye. The album still stands as one of Blue Note's bestselling releases.Tracklisting:A. Think Twice (6:10)B.
