Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II was an American jazz and rhythm & blues trumpeter.

As a bandleader, Byrd was an influence on the early career of Herbie Hancock.

Donald Byrd quotes

My work sometimes can be abstract and appear not to have a direct relationship to Afro-American concerns, but, in fact, it is based on that.
