Midnight at Minton's.

Midnight at Minton's is a 1941 album by jazz musician Don Byas. It is a live recording of a jam session at Minton's Playhouse, the famous New York City nightclub at which the emerging style of bebop was being pioneered. It features one of the earliest known recordings of Thelonious Monk, who was then playing piano in Minton's house band.

These two would lead the bop charge later in the '40s at Minton's Playhouse, the bebop concubine/jazz club in . The music is pretty much swing material, with Humes tossing in a ballad ("Stardust") and a bluesy number ("Exactly Like You") while the instrumental "Indiana" is all fired up, and. they typically chill down "Body & Soul. Present on the dates is an unidentified tenor saxophonist and trumpeter tossing in his/her less than two-cents worth solos.

Carlos Wesley "Don" Byas (October 21, 1912 – August 24, 1972) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, most associated with Bebop. He played with Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Art Blakey, and Dizzy Gillespie, among others, and also led his own band.
