Fuego Donald Byrd recorded on October 4, 1959 and released on Blue Note the following year. Byrd's quintet features saxophonist Jackie McLean and rhythm section Duke Pearson , Doug Watkins and Lex Humphries .[ 2]
Reception The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states, "hard bop is at the core of this band, but Byrd is moving further into post-bop... as he takes a break from forceful interaction to play a more democratic role on this refined and mature album that is less brash, a prelude for his more powerful statements yet to come."[ 4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz [ 5]
