Info
On 12 January 2027, The Blackbyrds land at Blue Note London with the kind of jazz-funk that never forgets the body. Born in Washington, D.C. in the early 70s around Howard University students brought together by trumpeter and mentor Donald Byrd, the band carved a sweet spot between jazz fusion finesse, soul vocals, and R&B-driven rhythm.
Expect elastic arrangements, thick basslines, and that smooth-but-punchy pocket that made their classic run on Fantasy Records such a staple of the era. From the melodic glide of “Walking in Rhythm” to the dancefloor pull of “Happy Music” and the unmistakable haze of “Rock Creek Park”, their repertoire moves easily between instrumental flow and song-oriented grooves. Reformed in 2012 and back in action since, The Blackbyrds’ set is built for heads and hips alike, with a sound that also echoes through decades of hip-hop sampling.
