Don Byas, Don Byas And His Orchestra - Laura Cement Mixer
Review by Enciu Constantin
Don Byas was a renowned jazz saxophonist, and his album "Laura Cement Mixer" with his orchestra is a testament to his talent. The album features a mix of upbeat swing and bluesy ballads, showcasing the range of Byas' musical abilities.
From the first track, "Laura," listeners are transported to a world of smooth jazz melodies and toe-tapping rhythms. Byas' saxophone solos are masterful, and the orchestra provides a perfect backdrop for his improvisations. The album also includes classics like "St. Louis Blues" and "Blue and Sentimental," which are given new life with Byas' fresh interpretations.
One standout track is "Harvard Blues," a slow and sultry ballad that allows Byas to showcase his emotional depth as a musician. The orchestra provides a lush and romantic backdrop for his saxophone, creating a dreamy atmosphere that is both soothing and captivating.
