Happy 100th Birthday Lester Young!  You're a genius!

Que aprendam os malabaristas acrobaticos do saxofone, que, por falta de feeling e imaginação se baseiam em escalas em alta velocidade sem deixar recado nenhum ao ouvinte, Graaande Lester for ever...

[Bernard Levin]

not one of his best......but he was great!

Where'd they get the piano?? Outta the church vault??

I think he sounds great is is still in innovation mode here

I've always felt that Prez's army, uh "experience" is what started him on his decline; even immediately after his discharge when he still had a lot more of his physical self, his playing got darker; it just didn't have the same light-footedness, let alone light(er)-heardtedness that he did previously.

It would make a good Off-Broadway Play, "The Court-Martial of Lester Young."

Hey , come on..I LOVE Prez!..but let's admit he sounds like shit on this video..and NOT because of the poor quality of the tape. Anyone who wants to know why this Master was a GOD should look elsewhere.
