July in Paris is an album by pianist Jaki Byard. Most of the tracks are trio, with bassist Ralph Hamperian, and drummer Richard Allen; on two they are joined by saxophonist Ricky Ford.
The album was recorded in concert on July 24 and July 25, 1998. [1] The tracks are diverse, with contrasts in material highlighted through the use of medleys. [1] Pianist Jaki Byard plays with bassist Ralph Hamperian and drummer Richard Allen on all of the tracks; for the final two they are joined by tenor saxophonist Ricky Ford. [1]
The French label Fairplay released the album in 1999. [1] Some sources credit the release to Jazz Friends Productions. [2] [3] July in Paris is likely to be one of the final recordings of Byard's career – the pianist died in February 1999. [1]
