Our Take

Lester Young Quartet's latest offering, "Collates," featuring the incredible talents of John Lewis and Hank Jones, is a delightful, toe-tapping journey through the world of jazz.

From the moment the first notes of the album hit your ears, you're transported to a smoky, dimly lit jazz club, with Young's smooth saxophone leading the way. Lewis and Jones provide the perfect accompaniment, their piano and bass skills adding depth and texture to each track.

The chemistry between the musicians is undeniable, with each member seamlessly complementing the others. Young's playful saxophone riffs dance around Lewis' intricate piano solos, while Jones' steady bass lines provide a solid foundation for the quartet.

Tracks like "Swingin' in the Rain" and "Cool Cat Blues" showcase the quartet's ability to blend classic jazz with a modern twist, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

Overall, "Collates" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for an album that is equal parts fun and sophisticated. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of the Lester Young Quartet wash over you. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
