  6. My heart is both saddened by the lost of the great Donald Byrd. Mr. Byrd had given us so much great music ranging from traditional jazz standards to hard hitting jazz/funk excursions. This brother will be truly missed, but his music, life and legacy will continue to live on for generations to come. Rest in peace Mr. Donald Toussaint L’Ouverture Byrd II.
