The Blackbyrds? These are the guys behind rare groove classics such as «Walking In Rhythm» or «Rock Creek Park». The band was founded in 1973 as a project by trumpeter and teacher Dr. Donald Byrd. Together they created an unmistakable style between jazz, funk and disco that inspired a whole range of hip-hop artists in the 90s, from Tupac to NAS to MF Doom. After celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2023, The Blackbyrds are currently on tour with founding members Keith Killgo and Joe Hall.
