About this product
Jaki Byard always personified the past, present and future of jazz, wherever or whenever one might have been fortunate enough to experience his challenging ideas. An icon in the history of jazz, Jaki was Art Tatum, Earl Hines, Bud Powell, Ran Blake, Cecil Taylor and Bill Evans, all in one. Yet, like these fellow icons, he was his own uncompromising, unique, living entity. He isn't a household name, but most likely his low profile is the result of an irresistible need to constantly reinvent himself, the sure sign of the consummate artist.

His playing was rich, masterful and above all, versatile, covering everything from stride and ragtime to bebop and free jazz. Pianist, saxophonist, composer, arranger, and teacher Jaki Byard had a career that followed the music and along the way he became a master of every style of jazz. Nowhere was his imagination quite as unbridled as it was in solo performance and HighNote Records is pleased to this second volume of Jaki Byard live at the famed Keystone Korner.

The debut recording from one of jazz music's most revered pianists!InchByard is absolutely brilliant... highly recommended.Inch - All MusicOriginally recorded in 1960, briefly released in Japan in the early '70s, it wasn't until 1988 that Jaki Byard's solo debut, Blues For Smoke, was widely released. Even then it was more of a secret handshake among fans than the catalog cornerstone it should have always been. Now, Candid has finally created the definitive edition of this lost masterpiece for all to experience.Byard backed generations of jazz icons, including Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, Roland Kirk, and Quincy Jones. As a bandleader and soloist, he went on to build his own catalog of iconic recordings across three decades while establishing himself as an educator and mentor to the next generation of artists, most notably, Grayson Hugh, Fred Hersch, and Jason Moran. Blues For Smoke is where it all began.Recorded as a solo-piano showcase for Byard's incredible gifts as a player, composer, and jazz historian, the exquisitely engineered session is given new life by Bernie Grundman's sensitive remastering. With this , Candid is hoping to make Jaki Byard's very first album the rosetta-stone of jazz piano it was intended to be.
