Disc 1: New York (1941-1946)
Disc 2: Paris (1947-1954)
A great player among the tenor saxophone Greats, Don Byas, Don Carlos for the ladies, caused generations of dancers to swoon, particularly when he was playing Laura, the main theme from the Otto Preminger film of the same name. He was much more than a voluptuous, languorous sound, however; Don Byas was one of the great jazz virtuosos, a musician ready for any kind of adventure and a pioneering player although he didn’t show it. By the Forties, the rising stars of bebop had adopted him and his influence could be felt later among John Coltrane and his disciples. It is high time that Don Byas was rediscovered; these two CD's are filled with masterpieces that will help people know him better.
Don Byas
Active Decades: '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s
Born: Oct 21, 1912 in Muskogee, OK
Died: Aug 24, 1972 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Swing
One of the greatest of all tenor players, Don Byas' decision to move permanently to Europe in 1946 resulted in him being vastly underrated in jazz history books. His knowledge of chords rivalled Coleman Hawkins, and, due to their similarity in tones, Byas can be considered an extension of the elder tenor. He played with many top swing bands, including those of Lionel Hampton (1935), Buck Clayton (1936), Don Redman, Lucky Millinder, Andy Kirk (1939-1940), and most importantly Count Basie (1941-1943). An advanced swing stylist, Byas' playing looked toward bop. He jammed at Minton's Playhouse in the early '40s, appeared on 52nd Street with Dizzy Gillespie, and performed a pair of stunning duets with bassist Slam Stewart at a 1944 Town Hall concert. After recording extensively during 1945-1946 (often as a leader), Byas went to Europe with Don Redman's band, and (with the exception of a 1970 appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival) never came back to the U.S. He lived in France, the Netherlands, and Denmark; often appeared at festivals; and worked steadily. Whenever American players were touring, they would ask for Byas, who had opportunities to perform with Duke Ellington, Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke, Dizzy Gillespie, Jazz at the Philharmonic (including a recorded tenor battle with Hawkins and Stan Getz), Art Blakey, and (on a 1968 recording) Ben Webster. Byas also recorded often in the 1950s, but was largely forgotten in the U.S. by the time of his death.
