          Reviews :

          "For all intents and purposes, a Jazz Messengers session issued under Donald Byrd's name, Byrd's Eye View, captures the young trumpeter in full command of his estimable powers -- the visceral intensity of this music is remarkable, galvanized by the typically stellar playing of drummer Art Blakey, pianist Horace Silver, tenorist Hank Mobley, and bassist Doug Watkins. Fellow trumpeter Joe Gordon pushes Byrd to new extremes -- his solos are as physical as a heavyweight boxer yet as graceful as a ballerina. And despite the length and scope of the tracks, Byrd remains in complete control, performing with an authority and technical prowess that belie his age. An excellent hard bop date most readily available via the 2002 Blue Note reissue The Transition Sessions."  AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny


          "One of Byrd’s first albums as leader at the age of 23, joined by the young 25-year-old Hank Mobley, and fellow trumpet-player Joe Gordon, ably supported by stalwarts Blakey, Silver and Watkins.  It is also a “live concert setting”, a fairly novel idea as to how to get the best performance and recording. Whilst Van Gelder would often take all his recording equipment out to Bohemia or Birdland to record a live date, on this occasion they brought a live audience into a recording studio in Cambridge Massachusetts, no doubt Harvard and MIT hep-cats diggin’ the scene, to give the musicians audience rapport. Cool idea and an improvement on the Village Vanguard clink of cutlery, and Bohemia’s boisterous drinkers. Nothing but the sound of twenty hep-cats gently stroking their goatees, and breathing the occasional Yeah. Very cool." London Jazz Collector
