Don Byas Jam Sessions: 1945

I love the passion and foresight that Michael Steinman provides us with a look at a true neglected giant of jazz: Don Byas. He recorded so many great small group sessions for small labels during and after WWII (as well as those big band sides for Basie) and they are classics to be listened to over and over.

Jammin' At the Café Bohemia: When Friends Drop In

When this terrible moment in the world’s history is over, I hope a little spot in the West Village re-opens with more of the great music that is talked about and shown by Michael Steinman in this post in jazz lives. Musicians par excellence and a quaint wonderful spot to hear live music.
