Allmusic[1]

Jaki Byard with Strings! is an album by pianist Jaki Byard recorded in 1968 and released on the Prestige label.[2]

Reception

The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "The repertoire includes a jammed version of "How High the Moon," a couple of tricky Byard originals and the then-current pop tune "Music to Watch Girls By." But more significant than the songs is the playing by the distinctive musicians who almost make the band sound like a regular group rather than a one-time get-together".[1]
