Donald Byrd - Places & Spaces Available On:LP 12” EP: Let It BeDonald Byrds 1975 album Places and Spaces featuring the hits Wind Parade and Dominoes was the culmination of the great trumpeters fusion period. It was the fifth consecutive Byrd album to be produced by visionary producer Larry Mizell, and the second to last session Byrd would cut for Blue Note, the label he had recorded for since 1958 that had followed him along his remarkable evolution from top notch hard bop trumpeter to pioneer of R&B Funk fusion.
