Byas se původně věnoval klasické hudbě, hrál na housle, klarinet a saxofon. Ve svých sedmnácti letech začal hrát v lokálních orchestrech. Koncem třicátých let se usadil v New Yorku a v následující dekádě se přestěhoval do Evropy. Během své kariéry spolupracoval s mnoha hudebníky, mezi které patří například Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Ben Webster a Billie Holiday. Zemřel v Amsterdamu na karcinom plic ve věku 59 let. (cs) Don BYAS (* 21-an de oktobro 1912 en Muskogee, Oklahomo kiel Carlos Wesley Byas; † 24-an de aŭgusto 1972 en Amsterdamo) estis ĵaz-tenorsaksofonisto. Tenorsaksofonisto Don Byas validas kiel interligilo kaj muzikisto de la transiro ekde la skolo de Coleman Hawkins al la novigoj de bibopo ĉirkaŭ Charlie Parker kaj Lucky Thompson. Li komencis en bandegoj de svingo, ekz. tiuj de Andy Kirk kaj Count Basie. Aparte restos en memoro lia arto de la baladludo (Laura, These Foolish Things). Pro sia longa foresto de la usona ĵazmondeto li rapide eniris en forgesitecon. (eo) Don Byas (* 21. Oktober 1912 in Muskogee, Oklahoma als Carlos Wesley Byas; † 24. August 1972 in Amsterdam) war ein Jazz-Tenorsaxophonist. Der Tenorsaxophonist Don Byas gilt als Bindeglied und Musiker des Übergangs von der Coleman-Hawkins-Schule zu den Neuerungen des Bebops um Charlie Parker und Lucky Thompson. Er begann in den Big Bands des Swing, wie Andy Kirk und Count Basie. Am meisten in Erinnerung wird seine Kunst des Balladenspiels (Laura, These Foolish Things) bleiben. Durch seine lange Abwesenheit von der amerikanischen Jazzszene ist er schnell in Vergessenheit geraten.

(es) Carlos Wesley Byas, dit Don Byas, né le 21 octobre 1912 à Muskogee (Oklahoma) et mort le 24 août 1972 à Amsterdam, est un saxophoniste ténor américain, dont le style fait la transition entre la fin du swing et le début du bebop. Son choix de s'installer en Europe en 1946, loin des radars de la critique américaine, explique le peu de place qui lui est accordé dans les livres d'histoire du jazz (fr) Don Byas, geboren als Carlos Wesley Byas (Muskogee, 21 oktober 1912 - Amsterdam, 24 augustus 1972), was een Amerikaanse jazz-tenorsaxofonist. (nl) Carlos Wesley "Don" Byas (Muskogee, 21 ottobre 1912 – Amsterdam, 24 agosto 1972) è stato un sassofonista statunitense. Prima di trasferirsi definitivamente in Europa, Byas fu uno degli strumentisti di punta del nascente bebop. Negli anni successivi al suo trasferimento, pur rimanendo un modello per gli specialisti del suo strumento, a causa della lontananza dalla madrepatria, sembrò perdere parte della sua influenza. Dotato di una voce calda e potente e di un profondo vibrato, molto simile a quello di Coleman Hawkins, Byas, sempre tenuto nella massima considerazione dai suoi contemporanei, era una voce insolita nel panorama bebop, in cui i sassofonisti preferivano ispirarsi alla sonorità di Lester Young.
