Kofi by Donald Byrd (1969)
I could really do without most of Lew Tabakin's jazz flute (for the most part, I have to agree with Christina Applegate from "Anchorman" when she says "Jazz flute is gay.")
Favorite: "The Loud Minority" "Elmina" - at about 2 minutes in, the drums kick in and the bass gets really funky. But then at about 5:30, Donald goes off the deep end honking his trumpet and he lost me again. When he drops out again at about 6:20, he lets the bass, keys and percussion shine a bit.
Aside from these 2 songs, I'm not really feeling this album.
