Our Take
Album Review: Lester Young - More Classic Albums Lester Young’s latest compilation "More Classic Albums" is a delightful stroll down memory lane for fans of the legendary jazz saxophonist. Known for his smooth, cool tone and innovative phrasing, Young’s music continues to captivate listeners old and new. The album kicks off with the swinging track "Tickle-Toe", showcasing Young’s effortless technique and playful improvisation. It’s a toe-tapping start that sets the tone for what’s to come. Tracks like "Gigantic Blues" and "Pennies from Heaven" highlight Young’s versatility and mastery of the jazz idiom. His melodic solos soar over the rhythm section, leaving listeners in awe of his musical prowess. One standout track is the contemplative ballad "These Foolish Things", where Young’s tender tone lingers on each note, drawing listeners into a world of emotional depth and introspection. Young’s collaboration with vocalist Billie Holiday on "The Man I Love" is a true gem, showcasing the chemistry between these two titans of jazz. Their interplay is captivating, with Young’s saxophone weaving effortlessly around Holiday’s soulful vocals. Overall, "More Classic Albums" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Young’s timeless talent shines through on each track, reminding us why he remains a pillar of the jazz pantheon. So pour yourself a glass of whisky, dim the lights, and let Lester Young serenade you into the night.
