Tzazilas's video: Don Byas - April In Paris

A sweet ballad written by Gershwin, performed by Don Byas, taken from his recordings during his career on Europe. (this one, on Paris, December 8, 1953). Personnel: Don Byas (tenor sax) Martial Solal (piano) Pierre Michelot (sb) Pierre Lemarchand (drums) A brief biography of Don Byas (source last.fm) 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 :)
