After a wonderful sell out inaugural session with Ned Doheny, Classic Album Sundays continues our monthly Album Listening Sessions at the KEF Music Gallery. On Wednesday, the 9th October, Classic Album Sundays founder Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy will be joined by Keith Killgo a founding member of The Blackbyrds to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their seminal jazz-funk album Flying Start.
The Blackbyrds were inspired by jazz trumpet player and educator Donald Byrd and featured some of his Howard University students. They signed to Fantasy Records in 1973 and in 1974, released two albums, their eponymously titled debut and then Flying Start which features their Top Ten single ‘Walking in Rhythm’, produced by Byrd.
Doors open at 6:30 pm and the event starts at 7pm and runs through to 9pm. Tickets are free but they are limited! Secure your reservation here.
And please make a note in your diaries for the next events in the series:
20 November: Classic Album Sundays presents Heaven 17’s ‘Penthouse and Pavement’ with Martyn Ware
Tickets will be released the day after the preceding event.
