swing is for the complete bourgeois white people. This doesn't swing at all, thanks god. It plays! Just plays with rythm. And yes sir, it blues! you can't learn that.

@alexhunterjazz Cheers for that info. Waste of a great talent, tho'
-
@phaasch he travelled around a lot, i think he ended up in south america
-
damn swings like a train!
-
Stunning, isnt it? the very germ of bebop right there at that moment. whatever happened to Carl Smith (Trumpet)? he sort of disappeared after 1937, and Ive always liked his stark, angular solos

Where is the famous lester young solo?

What an ending!
-
for the tenor players out there- this solo is available in a book of Lester Young transcriptions; I'm working on it presently. Great fun and difficult in parts. It's a highly recommended etude.

One of the greatest sax solos of all time from the legend of tenor.

This is one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded. If you're a student of Jazz, learn this solo by Lester Young, if you're not up to that yet, just try to clap along and locate the beat.... If you do that, you'll start to understand what "swing" means.

As soon as I heard this many years ago I knew there was no other way to play it.
This is perfection like early Louis Armstrong recordings., sounding like they had been honed and polished, but really just instictive.
