This collection celebrates the mature Lester Young of the 1950s, a reminder of a time when he would blow into town for a week performing with a local rhythm section, or for a one-night appearance as part of an all-star, Jazz at the Philharmonic tour. A time when his powers of eloquence and subtlety remained undiminished, while his tone had developed a more mature-one could say darker-edge.

Thanks for this tribute to the great Lester Young. Of all the jazz musicians I love, I love him the most. If I believed in a heaven, it would consist of Lester Young, Buck Clayton. Teddy Wilson and Billie Holiday. playing together, for eternity..

Compared to other videos I recently viewed it's lower. It's not "LOW", but it could be louder.
