tour of the Institute of Jazz Studies in the John Cotton Dana Libary at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey.

This Dolnet tenor saxophone, made in France, was used by Don Byas, the erstwhile star of Count Basie’s band (he replaced Lester Young) and New York’s 52nd Street (he was in the Dizzy Gillespie group that introduced bebop in late 1943).
