I know the feeling - Dr.Byrd is another "GREAT" hardbop trumpeter.
Although some "selfish and snobish" people critized him and others (Herbie Mann,Lou Donalson,that comes to mind ) for going commercial and becoming commercially successful during the 70's,I'm sure you'll agree with me that making money is an "American Way Of Life".
