Slow Drag finds Donald Byrd at the top of his form, leading a nimble and expressive quintet through a set of swinging originals and vibrant interpretations. Recorded in 1967, the album pairs Byrd’s warm tone and melodic invention with the soulful alto saxophone of Sonny Red and the inventive rhythm section of Cedar Walton, Walter Booker, and Billy Higgins. This edition is part of the Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQ-CD reissue series. Remastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, this UHQ-CD is packaged in a jewel case with obi-strip and features faithfully reproduced sleeve artwork and notes.
