Info:

Obwohl Don Byas dem Bebop verbunden war, blieb er immer tief im Swing verwurzelt. Er begann seine Karriere zwar stark im Fahrwasser von Coleman Hawkins, als seinen größten Einfluss nannte er aber selbst den Pianisten Art Tatum: Ich habe keinen Stil, ich spiele ganz einfach wie Art.

Don Byas gehört zu den bedeutenden Solisten der Coleman Hawkins-Tradition und ist auch teilweise vom Basie-Tenoristen Herschel Evans beeinflusst. Er führte jedoch Hawkins’ mehr ornamentale Phrasierung weiter zu einer geschmeidigeren und geläufigeren Ausdrucksweise, die teilweise auch auf Benny Carter zurückgehen dürfte. Diese – Carter ähnliche - Paarung von Lyrik und Eleganz sowie seine technische Meisterschaft mussten gerade den Romantikern des Saxophonspiels vorbildlich erscheinen, denen Hawkins’ Schüler zu rauh und rabiat, und Lester Young zu verhalten klang[24]

Seine Auftritte mit den Spielern der 52. Straße in New York erweiterten sein musikalisches Spektrum; er übertrug die Neuerungen des Bebop auf die Solo-Praxis des damals modernen Small band bzw. Big Band-Swing. Damit hatte Don Byas großen Einfluss auf die nächste Tenorsaxophonisten-Generation um Lucky Thompson, Paul Gonsalves, Benny Golson, Johnny Griffin und Guy Lafitte in Frankreich. Obwohl gewandt in schnellen Tempi, entwickelte er seine wahre Meisterschaft im Balladenspiel. Später integrierte Byas auch Einflüsse der Generation von Sonny Rollins und John Coltrane in sein Spiel, hielt aber stets an einer gewissen Grenze fest: Wenn man nicht mit dem Fuß danach klopfen kann, ist es kein Jazz (Wikipedia)
