This first volume includes all the sessions made under Glenn Tyree's own name before the LP era. Incidentally, "Working Eyes," from December 1946, was issued on the flip side of a 78 r.p.m. by Don Byas. A few weeks later, Glenn was in charge of a band composed of members from Don Redman's touring band and local French players. The seemingly odd combination of standards and modern bop tunes shows that the new style had reached Europe as well - not least because of Redman's orchestra. Glenn and Don Byas next recorded with a slightly changed outfit in the Netherlands. These tracks have rarely been reissued and include magnificent solos by the great Byas who recorded so abundantly and always played immaculately.
