Parisian Solos by Jaki Byard
[EN] American pianist and multi-instrumentalist Jaki Byard studied classical piano before performing with Charlie Mariano, Herb Pomeroy, and Maynard Ferguson's groups. While he participated in numerous recordings with artists like Don Ellis, Booker Ervin, Eric Dolphy, Roland Kirk, and Sam Rivers, it was his involvement with Charles Mingus's sextet from 1964 onwards that brought him to a wider audience. Afterward, he dedicated himself to music education and, by the late 1970s, led a large regular orchestra in New York. As a versatile pianist, he expressed himself with agility and warmth, drawing from the stride tradition, bebop style, and free jazz. In 1971, he recorded this solo piano piece for Futura in the manner of the great master Fats Waller.

S’il a pris part à de nombreux enregistrements avec entre autres Don Ellis, Booker Ervin, Eric Dolphy, Roland Kirk et Sam Rivers, c’est sa participation au sextet de Charles Mingus à partir de 1964 qui le fera connaître d’un plus large public. Se consacrant par la suite à l’enseignement musical, il dirigera dès la fin des années 1970 un grand orchestre régulier à New York. Pianiste de synthèse s’exprimant de manière bondissante et chaleureuse entre la tradition stride, le style be-bop et le free jazz, il enregistra en 1971 ce piano solo pour Futura à la manière du grand maître Fats Waller.
