Lester Young

Sorry, even weak or sick he played more profound music than 99.9% of the rest of us.

Lester near death and it shows. So weak he can hardly play. As a big fan of his, that was painful.

sad to say i agree. a lot of pathos in this performance, but compare it to the athletiscm and rythmic invention of his youthfull playing... he really was a broken man by the end and sadly as a coda to a great artist, this isnt too fitting... goodbye pork-pie-hat...

is that oscar peterson on the piano ?

no.

けだるいジャズの心地よい響き

I'd said it before and I say it again the man was ALL BLUES and a pleasant blues at that!

No, it's Polkadots And Moonbeams. Try and fit E/L over this and you'll come unstuck on the third beat of the 1st bar. Prez would not perform a song until he had learned its words. Know your songs, live with them, then you'll recognise them and won't have to ask.

Good ear. Easy Living - Eb

The greatest tenor sax of all time!!!
God Bless U Lester!!!!
