	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.

	Don Byas [Inner City]: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		The masterful tenorman Don Byas, whose current obscurity is due to him having moved permanently to Europe in 1946, is in excellent form with three separate rhythm sections.
		Six selections match Byas with the great pianist Mary Lou Williams (who contributed four originals) in a quartet, he fronts the Beryl Booker Trio on three numbers and the final three tunes (two of which were previously unissued at the time) showcase Byas with a French rhythm section that includes vibraphonist Fats Sadi.
		Byas, who updated the style of Coleman Hawkins, deserved much more recognition than he received and this now obscure release (the music was originally put out by the French Vogue label) is well worth searching for.

		Bio: 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.

		Byas also recorded often in the 1950s, but was largely forgotten in the U.S. by the time of his death.

		Byas was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma on October 21, 1913, and attended Langston University in that State.

		After a 1946 European tour with Don Redman, the tenor saxophonist Don Byas settled in France in 1948 and was well established by the time he recorded these 18 tracks in the early 1950s.
		Byas is heavily featured throughout, accompanied only by fairly anonymous but adequate rhythm sections.
		Byas used his sumptuous tone on such ballads to create a sophisticated romanticism in the great tradition of Coleman Hawkins, though Byas used a leaner tone and a more worldly manner.

	Don Byas [GNP]: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Tenor saxophonist Don Byas left the United States in the 1940s and spent most of his recording career as a leader in Europe; as a result, he isn't as well-known as he probably should be.
		This GNP reissue inconveniently omits the names of the supporting musicians and the recording dates, though it is likely from the 1950s since it is credited as originally appearing on Vogue.
		Byas' huge tone, much like Coleman Hawkins ' sound, dominates this effortlessly swinging session, with strong versions of standards like "Sweet Lorraine," "April in Paris," and "I Can't Give You Anything but Love," while his anonymous rhythm sections provide him with good support and occasionally a few good piano solos as well.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: 1945, Don Byas, CD
		Bookended by several pleasant yet minor blues and pop vocals by Albina Jones and Ruble Blakey, this Classics Don Byas disc finds the unsung tenor great on the eve of his indefinite stay in Europe.
		Having cut his teeth in the bands of Lionel Hampton, Andy Kirk, and Count Basie, among others, Byas marked the end of the war with several fine combo recordings spotlighting his boppish swing blowing style.
		Byas is in top form throughout, plying his smoky and slightly tart tone on ballads like "Laura," while showing off a lithe brand of swing on an up-tempo "The Sheik of Araby." Not as solid as Classics' 1944-1945 volume, but still a fine selection for Byas completists.

		Volume nine in the complete chronological recordings of Carlos Wesley Don Byas presents 21 recordings made for the Vogue label in Paris between July 18, 1952 and December 8, 1953.
		While these tuneful ditties with arranged backgrounds may not seem as relaxed and spontaneous as the smaller group blowing sessions, the saxophonist sounds completely relaxed and happy to be treated with the respect that was usually granted him in mainland Europe.
		On November 24 and December 8, 1953, Don Byas resumed making records accompanied by a sympathetic rhythm section, with Martial Solal at the piano and Pierre Michelot handling the string bass.

	Don Byas : Walkin' - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The second of two CDs taken from the same appearances at the Montmartre in Copenhagen as A Night in Tunisia, this release showcases the masterful (if underrated) tenor Don Byas in a quartet with pianist Ben Axen, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer William Schiopffe.
		Byas was always a powerful player and he digs into such songs as "There'll Never Be Another You," "Billie's Bounce" and "All the Things You Are," coming up with exciting and consistently inventive ideas.
		All jazz collections should have at least a couple of Don Byas albums.

	Ben Webster - Ben Webster Meets Don Byas - Verve Records
		The styles of Ben Webster and Don Byas provide a distinct contrast (though Byas was also a swing-influenced saxophonist, he was heavily into bop as well), yet they mesh very well together.
		On their opening improvised "Blues for Dottie Mae," Webster's big-toned swing tends to dominate, though Byas ' boppish lines dart around at lightning speeds; Tete Montoliu 's bluesy piano provides the perfect support.
		Sadly, this LP was a bit of a swan song for both tenor saxophonists; Byas died in the year prior to its 1973 release, while Webster died the following year, though he taped at least one more album following this one.
