Description

Beautiful copy of the rare Saxaphone Improvisations by Don Byas four-disc 78rpm album on Savoy Records S-505. That spelling of Saxophone is on the cover. One of the great late swing-era players, these solo improvisations are amazing tone poems unlike much of anything in Jazz at the time. Really a beautiful set of recordings. All four discs are nearly perfectly mint and play flawlessly. A few tiny signs of gentle use but barely. The cover features artwork by the great Sid Maurer. The spine is ripping a bit and the binding is loose, but otherwise it is actually quite beautiful with remarkably little edge or corner wear. Really a nice copy of this jazz rarity.
