Live at Basin Street East


Live at Basin Street East is a live album by pianist Ray Bryant recorded at Basin Street East and released on Sue Records in 1964.

Reception

The Allmusic review stated "This LP concentrates primarily on standards, although one pop song of the period is thrown in, along with a pair of Bryant's originals. The piano is in decent shape, though Bryant is fairly conservative in his approach to most of the tunes, resulting in a somewhat uninspired treatment of "C Jam Blues" and a funky but lackluster "Love for Sale."... The audience, for the most part, seems more interested in talking among themselves than realizing they are witnessing the making of a live recording".
