Jaki Byard Trio-Live at the Jazz Inn, (Futura, LP, Ger 29, 1971)


' Small contribution to the OP Futura thread ...

Here's a Lesser Known record by the great Jaki Byard , too often unjustly remembered Solely as a Mingus side Man.
his Tenure with Mingus was relatively Short , theres a lot more to him than that, he was one of the most interesting 'Mainstream 'jazz pianists of his day!

Byard's string of eclectic adventurous records for Prestige in the 60's are magnificent, as is his later post 70's oeuvre , for labels as diverse as Muse, Concord ,Soul Note,and Leo...

He also plays Alto sax on 3 tracks here, astoundingly playing Fractured Tayloresque runs on Piano ,and  simultaneously scrabbly  Japan in a dishpan like Alto on the 'Garnering ,a bit Free Suite for Paris'..

Byards was a masterfully executed flawlessly inventive Technique which effectively synthesizes, Stride, Earl Hines ,so called Trumpet Style, Bud Powell and Free Jazz.

 Byard Also loved Piano duets, recording great ones with Howard Riley, Earl Hines, and Ran Blake....and Tommy Flanagan(see comments)
He  recorded a solo album for Futura , 'Parisian Solos'which has been reissued and can be found here its great!

Enjoy!

    This looks good - but the h has fallen off http for the first file, and I can't find any way to download without it.

    Copy-paste and add the h in front. It works.
    With thanks to Sotise. Byard has always been among my fav' pianists (Stanley Cowell being the other one).

    Thanks so much for this! I collect and listen to just about everything Byard touched, even the albums I'm not that into. Just something about his approach...
