Lester Young – Lester Leaps In (2018, 24/192) – 2xHD

Lester Young – Lester Leaps In in 2018 by 2xHD Label. One of the great originals in the jazz hierarchy. A highly sensitive, graceful player, and an enigmatic personality, Young had a winning sense of time and space and a most engaging gift for improvising on songs rather than chord sequences. He played with great feeling for the lyric of a song with a very special, bittersweet brand of melancholy.

There are some jazz exponents whose recorded work is worth preservation and close attention. Lester is one such jazz exponent.
