The Creeper is an album by American trumpeter Donald Byrd. Along with Byrd, the album Sonny Red, Pepper Adams, Chick Corea, Miroslav Vitous, and Mickey Roker. It was recorded in October 1967 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1981. [1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "For the last time, Byrd was heard in prime form in an acoustic format... although none of the originals caught on as standards (or have been performed since), together as a whole they give one a lot of variety in the then-modern hard bop field. Pity that this album has been out of print since the mid-'80s". [2]
