Inarguably one of the most important figures in 20th-century American music, jazz impresario Norman Granz introduced live jazz to mainstream audiences with his Jazz at the Philharmonic concert series; founded four record labels (including the legendary Verve Records); managed the careers of icons Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson; and produced a roster of some of the greatest artists in jazz history: Charlie Parker, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, and many more. This program celebrates Granz' pioneering legacy with a live performance by pianist Ray Bryant at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in 1977.
Laser Swing Productions' Norman Granz Jazz In Montreux series includes several performances by legendary jazz musicians as recorded by the famous music aficionado Norman Granz. Norman Granz Jazz in Montreux: Ray Bryant '77 finds the pianist on-stage alone with his piano for such songs as "Take the 'A' Train," "If I Can Just Make It to Heaven," and "Jungle Town Jubilee."

Ray Bryant
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Dec 24, 1931 in Philadelphia, PA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Jazz Blues, Mainstream Jazz, Soul-Jazz
Although he could always play bop, Ray Bryant's playing combines together older elements (including blues, boogie-woogie, gospel, and even stride) into a distinctive, soulful, and swinging style; no one plays "After Hours" quite like him.
The younger brother of bassist Tommy Bryant and the uncle of Kevin and Robin Eubanks (his sister is their mother), Bryant started his career playing with Tiny Grimes in the late '40s. He became the house pianist at the Blue Note in Philadelphia in 1953, where he backed classic jazz greats (including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Lester Young) and made important contacts. He accompanied Carmen McRae (1956-1957), recorded with Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival (taking a brilliant solo on an exciting version of "I Can't Believe That You're in Love With Me"), and played with Jo Jones' trio (1958). Bryant settled in New York in 1959; played with Sonny Rollins, Charlie Shavers, and Curtis Fuller; and soon had his own trio. He had a few funky commercial hits (including "Little Susie" and "Cubano Chant") which kept him working for decades. Bryant recorded often throughout his career (most notably for Epic, Prestige, Columbia, Sue, Cadet, Atlantic, Pablo, and Emarcy), and even his dates on electric piano in the '70s are generally rewarding. However, Ray Bryant is heard at his best when playing the blues on unaccompanied acoustic piano.
