For me the best track here being the Trio track with George Tucker + Alan Dawson titled "Spanish Tinge", which was obviously a leftover from this live gig .... : It is a pity, that this Trio was not awarded a studio session ....

"Spanish Tinge" is wonderful, for sure.  But I also LOVE the quartet tracks with Jimmy Owens, Paul Chambers, and Billy Higgins. I especially dig the interplay between Owens and Byard. I wish they could have recorded more together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 A fine album recorded at Birdland in 1992. The closing tracks, "Sofrito", is terrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 More Jaki Byard: This CD intermingles tracks from two different LPs: Solo Piano and Jaki Byard with Strings.  Usually I don't like it when reissuers "shuffle the deck" like that, but -- IMHO -- it works beautifully here.  Then again, my first exposure to this music was on this CD. I imagine if I knew the music from the original LPs, I'd be disappointed that it was resequenced. ...In any case, this is some magnificent music.  By the way, the cuts with strings aren't like the Charlie Parker with Strings record. In this case, "strings" refers to George Benson's guitar, Ray Nance's violin, and Richard Davis' & Ron Carter's basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
