It's still a Boston affair as we highlight Worcester native Jaki Byard who played piano in Charlie Mariano's Jazz Group and with Herb Pomeroy. After over a decade of playing around Boston, he moved to New York City. There, he played with and arranged for some of the most advanced jazz groups of the era and got the chance to lead his own sessions. His first LP Here's Jaki, which highlights his versatility and an approachable experimentation, released in 1961 on the New Jazz division of Prestige Records.
Here is the discography surrounding Jaki Byard's debut album:
