Don Byas - Where Or When

A sweet ballad performed by Don Byas, taken from his recordings during his career on Europe. (this one, on Paris, April 19, 1951). Personnel: Don Byas (tenor sax) Maurice Vander (piano) Jean-Pierre Sasson (guitar) Popof Medvedgo (bass) Benny Bennett (drums) A brief biography of Don Byas (source ) Carlos Wesley (Don) Byas (October 21, 1912--August 24, 1972, died in Amsterdam, of lung cancer) was a jazz tenor saxophonist born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in the United States. Although his long residence in Europe kept him out of the public eye in the United States, he is a significant influence on later players of his instrument. Just for your own pleasure. Enjoy :)
