	don byas, A Tribute to cannonball
		Don Byas was a seminal figure in the development of the tenor saxophone and a transitional one twixt the schools of swing and bop.
		Byas was a masterful swing player with his own style, and advanced sense of harmony and a confidence and adventurousness that found him hanging around the beboppers and asking to play.
		Byas' playing was also to suffer in his last few years; he seemed tired, he was losing a battle with alcohol.

		The sharp interplay between Byas and West on "Across the Road" is one of the highlights of the session.
