This 1981 album pairs Blake with the great pianist Jaki Byard. A fascinating piano duo work, it makes full use of Blake’s distinctive style, marked by a sense of silence and deep shadow reminiscent of Paul Bley, while unfolding as a dense and sharply focused exchange of improvisations. Although the album includes standard numbers, they often sound transformed into something completely different, which is part of its appeal. Byard’s extraordinary depth and flexibility are truly impressive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA2: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260612\/OMH26010595_a2.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePrelude\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260612\/OMH26010595_b3.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSonata for Two Pianos\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53035976196320,"sku":"OMH26010595","price":2530.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_0771_46f22528-4124-473d-8d8f-b23ee89253d3.jpg?v=1781147615","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/ran-blake-jaki-byard-improvisations","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
