One of the most slept on albums of all time.......2006-12-06

HANDS DOWN THIS WAS THE MOST SLEPT ALBUM OF 1997!!!!! Illiodic Shines with Mic Geronimo was crazy!!! Except for showing up on a few mix tapes and a late night hip- hop radio shows here and there. Royal Flush deserves his props. Just about every track is a certified BANGA!!!Its a shame he didn't come out with anything else!!!

its that gully queens hip hop from the 97-98 era.......2006-01-29

this album right here is hot,first off its the production,and his lyrics are good but nothing to go crazy over but its listenable and tolerable,he spits that queens flow that i like,anyways for those who don't know who is royal flush he's mic geronimo's right hand man and capone's cousin from cnn.his first appearance was on mic's first album the natural(1995).he's half black and half cuban,its too bad that he didn't get any buzz from the mainstream, but his single iced out medallions got some underground buzz,this album is very very underrated and shouldn't be,i got this album in a used music,movie store in fla,i couldn't find this in new york,but any ways this is recommended for fans of queens hip hop, cnn, and underground hip hop.stand out tracks are Iced down medallions,Can't help it,Movin' on your weak productions(my favorite track on this album and was produced by da beatminerz),that beat has that real new york feel to it and its very addicting,Family Problems,Regulate(my second favorite track on the album)it features mic geronimo, International Currency,and finally Dead Letter

Hot but only 1 dissappointment.......2005-10-30

I thought that the song Rotten Apple was gonna be on there but it wasn't. But besides that this is a good album I wish the man would come out with something else but this album I bought it the same day I bought OC jewelz and I didn't know which one to play both were out and hot!!!! this is a good cd.

Alvaro sez: Flush Puts Flushing Queens on the Map!.......2005-09-01

When i first heard Flush it was on Big L's (other awesome NY artist)Flamboyant Pt. 2 ft. Royal Flush and Mic Geronimo. it blew me away, specialy being someone who has a good grasp on NY Hip Hop and its most talented. The next day i ordered "worlwide" from amazon. When i got it in the mail i couldnt put it down. I paid 3.85 for the cd used (good condition) and it def was worth every cent. If you like artists like Cappadonna from the wu tang, showbiz from D.I.T.C. you will def love flush and his Cd features comps w/ some of my Fav (O.C., MIc Geronimo, Da Wastlanz, Noreaga & Buckwild)

this cd is a must have, a nice peace to have specially if your building up an unknown/undergound collection.

THE QUINTET! .......2007-05-17

[Donald Bryd Quintet]

Donald Bryd-trumpet
Pepper Adams-Baritone
Butch Warren-bass
Herbie Hancock-piano
Billy Higgins-drums

TUNES
Hush(Donald Byrd)
I'm A Fool To Want You(Wolf-Heron-Sinatra)
Jorgie's(Donald Byrd)
Shangri-La(Donald Byrd)
6M's(Donald Byrd)
Requiem(Herbie Hancock)

Donald Byrd's recordings for Blue Note have always remained of the highest calibre.Bryd is a superb composer,as is well documented in his contributions for this session,and is very shrewd and inventive in picking and choosing the players for his recordings as a leader.It makes a difference!Donald Byrd amoungst a select group of great trumpet players that rose in the ranks beggining in the late 50's.There were many,to name a few,Lee Morgan,Johnny Coles,Wilbur Harden,Miles,'Brownie',Kenny Dorham,Blue Mitchell,et al. Four of the six tunes on 'Royal Flush'come from Bryd's pen.Pepper and Donald,who have a long history of playing together,
are the 'front lines'for this session.Pepper Adams,Herbie,and Donald contribute great solos throughout.On 'I'm a Fool to Want You'(Wolf-Herron-Sinatra),Byrd's rendition is superb.His tone and excecution create this ethereal mist.It's like the tune is way inside him for a visit.As Dexter Gordon pointed out somewhere,the importance of knowing the lyrics to the tunes.It changes your whole perspective,whether listening or playing. Some great originals by Bryd,and great playing all around.The quintet as a whole really sparkles on Shangra-La,great soloing all around.It is very difficult to swing hard at slow tempos.These guys cut through it like 'soft butter'.A great rhythm section,Herbie,Warren,and Billy provide finesse support for Peeper and Donald.This comes highly reccomended.
Health and Happiness.Enjoy*

The Cooker??.......2006-10-19

Great music, but where are those proof readers!?!? The booklet is a mix between Royal Flush notes and The Cooker (lee morgan) notes. I was really looking foward to reading "A New Look at Royal Flush." I hope Blue Note does something about this!!!

Menage a trois.......2006-09-08

Don't buy this recent RVG remaster because it's Herbie Hancock's first recording session (who looks all of 14 in the photo though he was 21 at the time). Pick it up because, as Michael Richmond suggests in the previous review, "Royal Flush" is a winning hand by Byrd, possibly his best ever.

Should proof be required, listen to the trumpeter's performance of "I'm a Fool to Want You," the song often said to be Sinatra's most moving performance thanks to the influence of Ava Gardner. She must have had the same impact on Donald Byrd, who turns in the instrumental equivalent of Sinatra's reading, right down to Old Blue's "breathless" phrasing. The trumpeter takes the song once through, demonstrating both extraordinary technique and sensitive musicianship when he employs circular breathing in the bridge, extending the two most important notes of the song until time itself is suspended.

As for Hancock, there's nothing about his playing to suggest he's anything other than a seasoned pro on what was, in fact, his actual "maiden voyage." On the opener, "Hush," he summons up a Ramsey Lewis gospel feel; his solo on "Jorgie's" could have been played by Bill Evans; on the modal "Shangri-La" (not the familiar pop hit) he evokes the voicings and melodic patterns of McCoy Tyner. And contrary to expectations, there's never the slightest hint of "overplaying."

In some respects, I wish I could give the recording four and one-half because the last two tunes are anti-climactic: Byrd's "6 M's" is another laid-back blues in C (at least in 3/4 this time), and Herbie's "Requiem" is too close to "Shangri-La" in modality and tempo. One up-tempo number with ample blowing time for Pepper Adams would certainly have done the trick. On the other hand, the most enduring and perpetually fresh jazz recording ever made--"Kind of Blue"--has no fast tunes. What's the difference? I know you're going to say Miles, Coltrane, and Bill Evans, but I don't think that's it. Instead, imagine what "Kind of Blue" would have sounded like (most pointedly Bill's piano) if recorded by Van Gelder.

Donald Byrd's Winning Hand.......2006-08-25

After years of pleading by many a jazz fan, Donald Byrd's "Royal Flush" finally has been released as a domestic CD in the RVG Series. (Thankfully it has also been available for some time in the 6CD Mosaic set "The Complete Blue Note Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Studio Sessions.") This September 21, 1961 session has to be considered the trumpeter's best Blue Note album. Not only does it feature six standout, classic post bop tracks, impeccably performed by Byrd and his musical soulmate, the bartione saxophonist Pepper Adams (What a glorious sound they make together!), but it is also a jazz landmark for several important reasons. "Royal Flush" is the first Blue Note album to feature the magical rhythm duo of Butch Warren on bass and Billy Higgins on drums, a pair that would go on to provide the backbone of famous records by Dexter Gordon, Sonny Clark, Jackie McLean, and Herbie Hancock among others. And speaking of Hancock, "Royal Flush" was the legendary pianist's first Blue Note session to be released, and it contains his first recorded composition, "Requiem." In all, don't fold on this one -- "Royal Flush" is a winning hand and a jazz classic!
