Improvisations is an album of piano duets by the American jazz pianists
Ran Blake and
Jaki Byard, recorded in 1981 and released on the Italian
Soul Note label.[1]
Reception
The
AllMusic review by
Scott Yanow stated: "Because Byard (who can play credibly in virtually every jazz style) is highly flexible, he was able to meet Blake on his own terms and inspire him to play more extrovertedly than usual... In other words, this matchup works".[2]
