To Them – To Us is an album of solo piano performances by the American jazz pianist Jaki Byard recorded in 1981 and released on the Italian Soul Note label.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 4 stars stating "Jaki Byard was captured alone in a Milan studio for this delightful session. As usual, he displays his formidable technique with an ever-present twinkle of humor. Everything from early jazz to classic renditions of Ellington masterpieces... Several strong Byard originals round out this highly recommended CD".[2]
