Byrd's Nest

Byrd's Nest is a tribute to Dr. Donald Byrd, with whom Richard worked closely. Richard recalls, "I had the chance to spend a year of my life sitting next to Donald Byrd. He greatly encouraged me and has had a profound influence on me. Donald is a brilliant individual. He is extremely diversified. Donald has always been on the cutting edge as an innovator, trumpeter, composer, as well as educator. Donald is Constantly studying, searching for new insights - musical and otherwise." Richard also shares this passion and is proud to be a protege of Byrd's.
