Don Byas - Jazz Legacy
This album is like soothing medicine for me. I must have listened to it 30 times... I never get tired of it. There is something eerily contemporary about his music... it sounds so ahead of its time. I mean, even that picture of him -- does it look like it was taken over 50 years ago? I need to find more of his albums.
