The Blackbyrds - Flying High All I Ask
Review by John Litzenberg
The Blackbyrds' album Flying High All I Ask is a masterpiece of jazz-funk fusion. Released in 1974, this album showcases the band's signature sound that is both groovy and sophisticated. The album features some of their most popular tracks, including "Walking in Rhythm," which became a top 10 hit in the US.
The album opens with the title track "Flying High," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and funky bassline. The band's musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with intricate horn arrangements and tight rhythm section grooves.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Rock Creek Park," which features a catchy guitar riff and a laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for a summer day. "All I Ask" is a soulful ballad that showcases the band's softer side, with a beautiful melody and heartfelt lyrics.
