Luis Rovira on one single page is fair enough coverage for Don Byas' involvement with that band in 1947. Anyway .. not wanting to pick nits at all , but these WERE jazz recordings (within the framework of what European jazzmen were able to put on wax in post-1945 Europe, but seminal recordings for the recovering post-1945 scene in Barcelona). The presence of Don Byas (and other "defectors" from the Don Redman band who chose to stay over here) on the post-war European jazz scene was a boon and impetus for many young European jazzers, and no mean achievement of Don Byas. And the Barcelona days were part of the beginning of why he was held in such esteem in Europe. As for the Estrellas, I'll throw a couple of names at you, then: Josep Puertas, George Johnson (another expat!!) , Josep Ballester, Antonio Bardají "Chispa" (both Ballester and "Chispa" seem to have been jazzmen of almost mythical proportions on the jazz scene in the Catalunya region of Spain during that period). https://www.discogs.com/de/master/919653-Don-Byas-1947-Those-Barcelona-Days Just sayin'

of course, if we're talking the group with Howard as well, a box should not be released without the tracks from the session with Pete Brown and Jim Mullen (Piblokto, Battered Ornaments)! There's also an unissued date with Burton Greene in for Bobby Few that I'd like to hear, and I suppose the two tracks with Wright, Few, and Ali on the Hans Dulfer LP could be added -- they're super.

Since this book is more focused on Don Byas' career as a jazz musician, there is less focus on his non-jazz activities. Each publisher has different standards and the author and index compiler adjust accordingly.  Bernard Hilda is mentioned in the footnotes, Luis Rovita is mentioned several times on a single page. There is no mention of "Estrellas de Ritmo y Melodía" after searching the pdf of the draft sent to me.

Not asking for a sneak preview, Ken, but to what extent do the "Estrellas de Ritmo y Melodía" as well as Bernard Hilda and Luis Rovira figure in the index?
