This is a tighter and more discerning collection, sticking to the absolute essential material that Donald Byrd's protégés churned out during the '70s, but simple mathematics places its value below the later, more inclusive anthology. Those who want to dig deeper can start with any of the group's first four proper LPs; each one peaked in the Top Ten of Billboard's jazz album chart, and they all have their charms beyond the singles

Blackbirds biography THE BLACKBIRDS were originally formed in south-west Germany and they released their first album "No Destination" on UK-Label Saga in 1968. THE BLACKBIRDS consists of psychedelic beat/pop music with a touch of the Mothers of Invention type satire (Something Different) and some progressive touches. Strong vocals by singer and guitar player Werner Breinig and some interesting Hammond organ work by Hubert Koop are characteristic of the group's music which proves a great talent of specific song writing.

Notes

Originally released in 1978.

"The re-editor of these club classics went uncredited when 'Night Grooves' was released in late '78 and 23 years later the tape boxes aren't doing much talking - but it's highly likely that they were assembled by, or under the supervision of, Phil Kaffel. A staff member at the Fantasy empire, Keffel had already overseen re-edits and remixes." [from liner notes]

Musicians in main credits are members of The Blackbyrds, those in tracks credits are guest musicians.
