Byard, Jaki - Blues For Smoke

New Vinyl Record - Jaki Byard - Blues For Smoke

Originally recorded in 1960, briefly released in Japan in the early '70s, it wasn't until 1988 that Jaki Byard's solo debut, Blues for Smoke, was widely released. Even then it was more of a secret handshake among fans than the catalog cornerstone it should have always been. Now, Candid has finally created the definitive edition of this lost masterpiece for all to experience.
