CD ReviewsMellow ballad sessions by legendary sax master J. Levinson | Media, PA USA | 04/14/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Recorded in June 1950 and April 1952 in Paris, and, as the title might lead you to believe, these sessions find Byas soloing melodically on mid-tempo ballads. With only one upbeat blues jam, the set list is on the mellow side. There's little display of the advanced swing stylings that he's most well-known for, though it's a subtly pleasant listen. Don Byas Sax (Tenor) Art Simmons Piano Maurice Vander Piano Jean-Pierre Sasson Guitar Joe Benjamin Double Bass Roger Grasset Double Bass Benny Bennett Drums Bill Clark Drums " Exquisite ballad playing M. Needlman | Mahopac, NY USA | 10/04/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "While a masterful player of hard bop and swing, this album mainly shows off Byas' artistry as a ballad player - perhaps without equal among tenor players. Every piece here is a gem."
