Donald Byrd - Cristo Redentor free for downloading

"I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Happy because I was alive. Or sad because my friends were dead"

This was so appropriate in A Bronx Tale... I wonder if Deniro picked it himself

This song touches my soul

jazzy and sacred all at once.

Christ The Redeemer indeed!  This is a masterpiece composed by the late great pianist Duke Person and played by the late great trumpeter Donald Byrd, whom I played drums on his "CARICATURES" album/CD. RIP Duke Person and RIP Donald Byrd.

This song is so hauntingly beautiful......sends chills up my spine.

Sonny .... He saved my life ... -a bronx tale is the best movie I've ever seen hands down

Happy cuz I was alive But sad cuz my friends were dead

Whoever voted down on this video should to be institutionalized...

Was this on A Bronx Tale soundtrack? Loved that movie Chazz at his best,,,,,

This is the song I want played at my funeral.

Thank you god for Donald Byrd---  -  

This tune stops you in your tracks.

Spike Lee was the first to put this song in a movie "Jungle Fever". The man's a genius just over looked.

Rest in peace Sonny at the same time i would also say, Rest in peace Donald Byrd.

It's hard for me to listen to this piece with dry eyes....

Man, such a sad sad song. The finest American art...

This is the saddest song I've ever heard in my life. Such a plaintive refrain. Without a single lyric it evokes wailing and sorrow; NYC's mean, cold streets; racism & the mean nature of unrestrained capitalism. Best arrangement ever.

Bronx Tale.  One of my favorite soundtracks ever.
