The Late Show: An Evening with Jaki Byard

The Late Show: An Evening with Jaki Byard is a solo performance by American jazz pianist Jaki Byard recorded in 1979 and released as a live album on the HighNote label in 2014.

Reception
AllMusic reviewer Steve Leggett states, "Byard was a jazz player by trade, but his real allegiance was to the piano itself, and few players have brought so much variety out of the instrument and still made it seem like it was all cut from the same elegant and comfortable cloth. All of that is on display here".
