Description:
Hailing from the Detroit jazz scene, trumpeter Donald Byrd and baritonist Pepper Adams join forces with guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Louis Hayes (aka "Hey" Lewis) to form the all-star sextet heard on 1960's Motor City Scene (also issued as Stardust). The album opens with "Stardust", or "music to get lost in" as described by All About Jazz. Adams then takes the lead on "Philson" followed by Chambers and Hayes' up-tempo version of "Trio". "Libeccio" reflects a contrast of talent from the entire sextet while the proceedings end on a high note with their hard-swinging rendition of "Bitty Ditty". 180 gram vinyl LP reissue.
