Our Take

Lester Young And Friends by the legendary Lester Young is a jazz masterpiece that effortlessly blends smooth saxophone melodies with infectious rhythms. Young's unique style shines through on every track, showcasing his unparalleled talent and influence in the world of jazz.

The album opens with the toe-tapping "Ad Lib Blues," immediately setting the tone for a musical journey that is both wild and refined. Young's collaborations with fellow jazz luminaries like Count Basie and Billie Holiday on tracks such as "Fine and Mellow" and "Lester Leaps In" are nothing short of magical, highlighting the chemistry and camaraderie between these musical giants.

Young's saxophone playing is as smooth as butter, effortlessly weaving in and out of intricate melodies with grace and ease. His improvisational skills are on full display throughout the album, showcasing his ability to take listeners on a sonic adventure with each note.

Lester Young And Friends is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, as it encapsulates the essence of the golden age of jazz with a modern flair. Young's influence on the genre is undeniable, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy. So grab a glass of whisky, sit back, and let Lester Young and his friends take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers to that, old sport!
