1962 studio album by Donald Byrd
The Cat Walk Donald Byrd recorded in 1961 and released on the Blue Note label in 1962 as BLP 4075.[ 2]
The Allmusic review by Steve Leggett awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Trumpeter Donald Byrd and baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams worked together on several recordings between 1958 and 1961, and The Cat Walk is among the best... Byrd's playing throughout is typically sleek and lyrical, and Adams' sturdy, husky baritone sound is the perfect counterbalance, making The Cat Walk an essential Byrd purchase".[ 3]
