Our Take

Don Byas, the unsung hero of jazz saxophone, finally gets his due with this comprehensive collection spanning over two decades of his illustrious career. From the swinging days of the 1930s to the soulful sounds of the 1960s, Byas proves time and time again why he is truly a master of his craft.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "September in the Rain", a classic standard that showcases Byas' buttery smooth tone and effortless improvisation. As the collection progresses, we are treated to gems such as "Laura" and "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams", each track highlighting Byas' impeccable technique and deep emotional connection to the music.

One standout track on the album is "How High the Moon", where Byas' virtuosity shines brightly as he effortlessly navigates complex chord changes and blistering tempos with ease. His ability to blend technical prowess with undeniable soul is truly unmatched in the world of jazz.

Overall, The Don Byas Collection 1938-1961 is a must-have for any jazz aficionado looking to delve into the rich history of the genre. Byas' talent and innovation are on full display throughout the album, leaving listeners in awe of his unparalleled skill and creativity. Don't sleep on this legendary saxophonist – he's a true pioneer of jazz music.
