Beauford Delaney - A Musical Interlude

The jazz album entitled Soulful Noise, by Will Boyd, was released in September 2021.

Track 7 on this album is entitled "Beauford Delaney."

Four musicians worked on this instrumental - Will Boyd (woodwinds), Taber Gable (piano), Darryl Ford (bass), and Kenneth Brown (drums). It is available on multiple music streaming platforms, including Spotify and Deezer.

Brown hails from Beauford's hometown of Knoxville, TN - perhaps he suggested the name for the tune.

A Jazz Weekly review of the album by George W. Harris describes Boyd as "searing on 'Beauford Delaney'." Beauford was an avid jazz fan, and I can only imagine his delight at having such a vibrant composition named after him.
