Description: Donald Byrd’s *Byrd in Flight* catches the trumpeter mid-takeoff in 1960, as hard bop stretched its wings toward the soulful, more exploratory sounds that would define the decade. Standing near West 72nd Street on the Upper West Side (NY 10024), you can feel the echo of that moment, with the city’s hum supplying its own walking bass line under the imagined crackle of Blue Note vinyl. Picture Byrd and his band spilling out of a Riverside Drive apartment or nearby studio, the Hudson wind in their coats, still buzzing from a late-night session that turned into jazz history. This is one of the New York stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
