Following the success of Here's Jaki, the eclectic pianist continued his explorations in a trio format, with Pete La Roca replacing Roy Haynes on the drums. The set mixes standards with some forgotten gems, plus three originals. The "Excerpts from Yamecraw" is an updated version of the nearly forgotten James P. Johnson orchestral suite, which is complimented here by the Byard original "There Are Many Worlds," which was also written for an orchestra. "Tillie Butterball" is a fun blues romp based on a puppy and a bowling alley. Byard's distinctive approach is evident on Randy Weston's title track "Hi-Fly" and George Shearing's "Lullaby of Birdland," while his debt to Thelonious Monk, sprinkled throughout this session, is obvious on "'Round Midnight." What makes this session special, however, is his original "Here to Hear." His multi-influenced compositional style matched by his versatile technique is explored at length. There are certain pieces that can never be interpreted by anyone else but the composer, and that is the case here, for it would be virtually impossible, and futile, to try and duplicate the individual genius of Jaki Byard. This stands as one of his best.

Tras el éxito de Here Jaki, el ecléctico pianista continuó sus exploraciones en formato de trío, con Pete La Roca reemplazando a Roy Haynes en la batería. El conjunto mezcla estándares con algunas gemas olvidadas, más tres originales. Los "Extractos de Yamecraw" son una versión actualizada de la casi olvidada suite orquestal James P. Johnson, que se complementa aquí con el original de Byard "There Are Many Worlds", que también fue escrito para una orquesta. "Tillie Butterball" es un divertido juego de blues basado en un cachorro y una bolera. El enfoque distintivo de Byard es evidente en la canción "Hi-Fly" de Randy Weston y en "Lullaby of Birdland" de George Shearing, mientras que su deuda con Thelonious Monk, salpicada a lo largo de esta sesión, es evidente en "Round Midnight". Lo que hace que esta sesión sea especial, sin embargo, es su original "Here to Hear". Se explora en profundidad su estilo de composición de múltiples influencias, combinado con su técnica versátil. Hay ciertas piezas que nunca pueden ser interpretadas por nadie más que el compositor, y ese es el caso aquí, ya que sería prácticamente imposible, e inútil, intentar y duplicar el genio individual de Jaki Byard. Esto se mantiene como uno de sus mejores.
