- This DB title says it all: Stepping Into Tomorrow! I've been a DB fan through the ages first hearing him via my Hip Bay Area and DC Grand parenst..but the funny thing every decade I was still listening to DB. THis album is old,new and the future like all his music is /was (Mizelle Bros.)...a Howard U Thang!. No one complimented (50's'60's,70's and 80's ect...) the era's with both instrumentation,current musical vibes and vocals.better than Mr. Bryd. So if you think this is funky and slick check out his stuff with the NY 125th Band......I really LUV U...U know I DU.....Brother DB you are & will always be the STUFF! A more consistent Miles Davis because you never took a break including while being a college Prof, Pilot and Esq. RIP (BTW...I have the original Press of this and all his era's stuff and they all sound amazing..it's the music!
- Hello, What does that means Terra Haute pressing ? Anybody knows?!
