The record
Byard steps out as a leader here, doubling on alto while marshaling a stacked front line of Booker Ervin and Richard Williams through knotty, unpredictable charts. A '61 Prestige date that shows the pianist's compositional range well before his Mingus and Rahsaan associations cemented his reputation.
