Description
This collection celebrates the mature Lester Young of the 1950s, a time when his powers of eloquence and subtlety remained undiminished, while his tone had developed a more mature one could say darker edge. Lester Young is considered one of the three most important tenor saxophonists of all time (along with John Coltrane and Coleman Hawkins) He is one of the true jazz giants; a man who became a legend by coming up with a completely unique conception in which to play his horn CD features performances by Ray Brown, Roy Eldridge, Herb Ellis, J.C. Heard, Hank Jones, Jim Lucht, Oscar Peterson, Bill Potts, Flip Phillips, Max Roach, Earl Swope and Norman Williams Includes insightful liner notes by noted jazz historian Ashley Kahn.
