Phantasies II is an album by the American jazz pianist Jaki Byard with the Apollo Stompers, recorded in 1988 and released on the Italian Soul Note label.[1] The album follows Byard's big band tributes album Phantasies (1984).
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "The second CD featuring Jaki Byard's Apollo Stompers (a young big band) is actually superior to the first one. Although most of the soloists remain obscure, the material is more stimulating than on the debut set... His very versatile piano has its share of short solos, hinting at many earlier jazz styles".[2]
