Doin’ it in the park on a sunny day!

I love this Blackbyrds track! It’s got that great summer groove perfect for these hot summer days.

The Blackbyrds were an American rhythm and blues and jazz-funk fusion group, formed in Washington, D.C. in 1973, and were led by trumpeter Donald Byrd. Their jazz-funk classic, “Rock Creek park” is probably their most widely know track, from the “City Life” album. It has been sampled numerous times by groups such as De La Soul, Eric B. & Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, NWA, Massive Attack, Ice Cube, Heavy D, Nas and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five.
