COME BIEN x JOY LIU x SAKE1 COLLABO: DONALD BYRD

I was approached by tha homies at COME BIEN Books to collaborate on a piece about Donald Byrd. I'm a HUGE Donald Byrd fan, equally enamored with Byrd's longtime production team tha Mizell Brothers, and I have a soft spot for trumpet players (from my older brother to Miles Davis); additionally, I love what Come Bien does and tha idea of cross-disciplinary collabos is something I have love for...so it was a no-brainer.

For this joint, I was given tha role of writer -- not a common role for me, but one I enjoy. There were (of course) space and form limits -- but hopefully this can spark something bigger. Robert Trujillo murked tha Byrd illustration, and tha magnificent Joy Liu did tha graphic layout. This is what all education material should look like!!! Get yo learn on....

NOTE: This is laid out in book format (which it will be, at some point) and as such tha text is quite small -- simply click on each page to enlarge it as you read =)

(couple MP3s of Donald Byrd edits I made posted "after tha jump" as tha internets say)...
