Our Take

Lester Young's "The Complete Aladdin Recordings" is a swingin' selection of tunes that will have you tapping your toes and nodding your head like a jazz-loving bobblehead. This album captures Young at the peak of his cool, with his signature smooth saxophone tones weaving effortlessly through each track.

From the laid-back grooves of "My Buddy" to the energetic bounce of "Gigantic Blues," Young displays his virtuoso skills with effortless finesse. The backing band is tight, the arrangements are on point, and the overall vibe is as smooth as a perfectly shaken martini.

Young's unique blend of sophistication and swagger shines through on every track, making it easy to see why he was one of the defining figures of the bebop era. His solos are fluid and captivating, his sense of rhythm impeccable, and his tone is as warm and inviting as a crackling fireplace on a cold winter's night.

Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, "The Complete Aladdin Recordings" is a must-have addition to your collection. So pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, dim the lights, and let Lester Young sweep you off your feet with his timeless charm and unparalleled talent. Cheers to that, old chap!
