Donald Byrd, (Donaldson Toussaint L’Ouverture Byrd II), American jazz and rhythm-and-blues artist played jazz trumpet with a bright tone and darting melodies before becoming one of the most popular soul-jazz performers and producers and a pioneering jazz educator. Byrd played (1951–53) in U.S. Air Force bands before receiving a Bachelor of Music degree (1954) from Wayne State University, Detroit. Almost as soon as he moved (1955) to New York City, he began performing with leading hard-bop musicians, including Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Sonny Rollins, and John Coltrane, and coled (1958–61) a quintet with baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams. Meanwhile, Byrd earned an M.A. in music education from the Manhattan School of Music, and he continued his music studies with noted teacher Nadia Boulanger (1963). He later became the first jazz teacher at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J.; studied law; and received an Ed.D. degree from Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City (1982). Byrd invented a soul-jazz fusion music, and his 1973 album Black Byrd became a hit.

Herbie Hancock is arguably the most influential practitioner of modern jazz piano since Thelonious Monk. From the bebop stylings of Bud Powell and Wynton Kelly, the classical legacy of Ravel and Debussy, and not least from the diverse genres of contemporary music exploding around him, Hancock has forged a style all his own.
