Lester Young: Deep Cuts
Playlist - 21 Songs
A saxophone summit occurred when Charlie Parker shared a stage with Young for “Lester Leaps In” during a 1949 jam session—Young's tenor conjures up a casual, elegant feel, while Bird's fiery alto solo points toward bop innovation. The tune accommodates both stylists well, which is a testament to Young's achievements as a songwriter, as are other originals by him like “Blue Lester”.
