"Places And Spaces" is the last of the electrifying jazz-funk LP releases from Donald Byrd during his DC period, when he was both teaching and, somehow, earning a law degree at Howard University--where he simultaneously organized a group of campus musicians to become the Blackbyrds.
Byrd's adventures at Howard lasted just three or four years, but the mutual and lasting influence between Byrd and the local music scene are clear to see. Highbrow musicianship crossed with funk vibes gave us party music like Byrd's, and also helped create the space for the regional Spiritual Jazz movement and eventually the Go-Go sound.
