  • @crockettjackson15 Polka Dots and Moonbeams. It was originally a song recorded by Tommy Dorsey with Frank Sinatra on vocals around 1940. Lester Young made a great studio recording with Hank Jones on piano in 1949 (Verve label). I think this live performance is from late summer/early fall 1958 - perhaps 6 months before Lester Young died. Most of his recordings and performances by this time in his life were a real struggle - this one is considerably better than average for this point in his life.

  • Its 11h45 22.05.2011, great video, at 4:18 very good, one of those things its an absolut very good song. The harmonies of this song are very 100%,
