Description
This live duo recording of legendary American pianist Jaki Byard and his celebrated UK counterpart, Howard Riley, is being released for the first time. The programme is an eclectic mix of jazz standards, ballads and improvised music.
In 1984 Howard Riley played a concert at London's Royal Festival Hall with Jaki Byard, the live recording was released on vinyl by Leo Records and later on CD by SLAM. The following year Jaki Byard returned to UK and the duo was re-united at Pendley Manor Jazz Festival; this much anticipated return was also recorded and 30 years later is now available for the first time.
Personnel: Jaki Byard (piano, alto saxophone), Howard Riley (piano)
