The Blackbyrds were a legendary 70s combo that were discovered by Donald Byrd while he was teaching at Howard University and they had a tight style that mixed raw funk influences with smoother jazz playing, creating a sound that was different from many of their contemporaries, and which pushed funk and soul into a whole new level.

This, their second album features the classic cuts "Blackbyrds Theme" , "Walking In Rhythm" as well as the epic and perfectly titled, "Spaced Out".
