Jaki Byard: Solo/Strings

Read "Solo/Strings" reviewed by Derek Taylor

But aside from the monolithic figure of Art Tatum few if any have succeeded in blending virtuosity, imagination and a complete command of the instrument like Jaki Byard did. His senseless murder last year marked the demise ...

Jaki Byard: On the Spot!

December 1, 1999

Jaki Byard was an encyclopedia unto himself; in a French concert it’s said he went “from James P. Johnson to Cecil Taylor."
