Piano Time, is a solo album by jazz pianist Al Haig recorded in 1976 and released on the short-lived Sea Breeze label in 1979.[1] [2]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn states, "The second of two solo piano albums Al Haig made in 1976, both done with exacting precision as well as exuberant force. Haig was disproving the critics who said he was finished, and he showed convincingly that there was still plenty of power in his hands and lots of tricks up his sleeve".
