A pesar de su incuestionable importancia histórica, Don Byas (21 de octubre de 1912, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Estados Unidos – 24 de agosto de 1972, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos), no es un hombre que ocupe grandes espacios en las enciclopedias del jazz.
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. His knowledge of chords rivalled Coleman Hawkins, and, due to their similarity in tones, Byas can be considered an extension of the elder tenor.
