"The high-spirited soloing of trumpeter and tenor saxophonist on 'Ghana'the opening track of Byrd In Flightlets listeners know that they are in for an exceptional musical experience. In addition to Mobley, Byrd is joined by on alto saxophone, on piano, bassists Doug Watkins and Reggie Workman, and drummer Lex Humphries on these sessions from 1960. Other highlights include Byrds stunning ballad tour-de-force on 'Little Girl Blue' and the hard bop swingers 'My Girl Shirl' and 'Lex,' the latter featuring an especially soulful solo from Mobley." - Blue Note Records
