Don Byas....Super Saxophone Guy
DON BYAS was a true genius of bop and swing, playing a profound jazz saxophone style with a glorious tone that really enchants us listeners. The guy played well with fine bands like Basie but also he worked with great minds in the bop era. In 1944 he came up with dazzling work with the so-creative bassist, Slam Stewart. The music of Don Byas impresses us all with its shiny originality.
