Street Lady is an album by American trumpeter Donald Byrd released on the Blue Note label in July 1973,[citation needed] with Larry Mizell returning as producer, following the success of its predecessor.[2]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 3 stars and stated "the appeal of Street Lady is how its polished neo-funk and pseudo-fusion sound uncannily like a jive movie or television soundtrack from the early '70s — you can picture the Street Lady, decked out in polyester, cruising the streets surrounded by pimps with wide-brimmed hats and platform shoes. And while that may not be ideal for jazz purists, it's perfect for kitsch and funk fanatics".[3]
