Our Take

Lester Young, the iconic saxophonist with a style smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy, gets the royal treatment with this comprehensive collection spanning the years 1936-1947.

From bebop to swing, Young effortlessly glides through each track with the finesse of a ballerina on ice skates. His velvety tone caresses every note like a warm hug from your nan after a long day at school.

Tracks like "Lester Leaps In" and "Shoe Shine Boy" showcase Young's unparalleled ability to convey emotion through his horn. It's like he's telling a story with each sweet, soulful phrase.

But it's not all silky smooth melodies and toe-tapping rhythms. Young also shows off his chops with blistering solos that will leave your jaw on the floor and your heart racing with excitement.

The collection is a must-have for any jazz aficionado looking to dive deep into the golden age of swing. Young's innovative playing and unmistakable sound set the standard for generations to come.

So grab your beret and your best pair of jazz hands, because this album is guaranteed to have you grooving and swinging in no time. Trust us, Lester Young is the real deal, and this collection is the crown jewel in his vast musical kingdom.
