I agree, bit distubing. Not much about loving Lester's music or wonderment at his sax playing. More he wants to portray him as a black political figure. Implies he didn't like or listen to him until he became subject for a book. Ok, but not right to try to rewrite history. Like no Kansas City style???Really Wow. Like claim Lester's early nickname was Pres when it was really "Red" I guess for his light skin.And imply the famous after hours jam with Hawk didn't happen when Jo Jones says it did.

What a load of bollocks.
Lester Young would have told him to shut up and fuck off.

This video is much longer than what one normally finds on YouTube, but it is well worth watching if you're a fan of Lester Young or, for that matter, of jazz in general. My thanks to Professor Daniels for an informative and entertaining lecture.

Thanks, professor! What a cool and informative lecture.
Please feel free to check out my jazz blog, if you like. Lester's there as well, of course.

Lester's music has been a primary spiritual force in my life. The beauty he played with is spiritual...his beautiful, purely saxophone sound, his melodicism and that floating sense of swing. I can hear the flow of the Mississippi River he grew up near till age 10, in his music, being from New Orleans myself. My ex mother in law dated him in NY. She said he was gentle, elegant and the, perfect gentleman, dusting off chairs with his handkercheif before she sat down. May his music live forever!
