The Jaki Byard Quartet with Joe Farrell: The Last From Lennie's

Read "The Last From Lennie's" reviewed by David Rickert

January 16, 2004

If anyone wanted to record a history of jazz piano, it could have been done by Jaki Byard, an incredibly versatile pianist who could play virtually any style.

Read "Sunshine of My Soul" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert
December 1, 2001

Jaki Byard is one of only a few jazz musicians who can play comfortably in virtually any style. This has made him a valuable sideman for players as diverse as Maynard Ferguson and Charles Mingus, but has rendered his work as a leader as a tad all over the map, lacking any guiding force to tie ...
