Description
Live 1967 quartet session from Switzerland. The concert consists of ten classic jazz standards, played in the be-bop/mainstream style to a clearly appreciative audience.They are all tunes which Byas and Thompson played when they worked together on various occasions during the '40s and '50s. Both musicians worked with Coleman Hawkins early in their musical careers and went on to be important proponents of therevolutionary be-bop style. Their approach and ideas were wonderfully compatible, as can be heard in this relaxed reunion from 1967, with Byas at the peak of his powers. DON BYAS (tenor sax), SIR CHARLES THOMPSON (piano), ISLA ECKLINGER (bass), PETER SCHMIDLIN (drums).
