Jaki Byard & Ran Blake - Improvisations
) | Label: Soul Note Catalog: 121022-1 Format: VINYL BYARD, JAKIThis very interesting release matches together Ran Blake and Jaki Byard in a set of piano duets. Because Byard (who can play credibly in virtually every jazz style) is highly flexible, he was able to meet Blake on his own terms and inspire him to play more extrovertedly than usual. Their seven collaborations have their playful moments, are quite exploratory, and always hold one's interest.  Price: $29.98 |
