Parisian Solos is an album by American jazz pianist Jaki Byard consisting of several solo piano recordings. It was recorded in 1971 in Paris, France and was released on the Futura label.[1]
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, with its review by Ken Dryden stating: "This solo date in a Paris studio finds Jaki Byard in his usual jaunty mood at the piano, whether reviving a forgotten jazz tune like "Bugle Call Rag" (before it became a bluegrass standard), increasing the intensity of an often dull ballad "Besame Mucho," or revising "Willow Weep for Me" with the choppy approach that helped to make his sound so distinctive".[2] (The AllMusic review is of the album's re-release edition, which features multiple bonus tracks.)
