Lester Young – Pres LP Japanese Pressing Mono 1981 sounds Fantastic Jazz NM No OBI & Insert. with Archival Sleeve There is a 1981 japanese issue of this album on Verve with reference UMV2672 that sounds great. I believe this album worth it especially for one of my favorite "Undercover Girl Blues" - so groovy. The version of "Polka Dots And Moonbeams" is also very beautiful . Gene Ramey and Ray Brown on the doublebass for your pure delight, Jo Jones on drums.
Lester Willis Young (August 27, 1909 – March 15, 1959), nicknamed "Pres" or "Prez", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and occasional clarinetist.
Coming to prominence while a member of Count Basie's orchestra, Young was one of the most influential players on his instrument. In contrast to many of his hard-driving peers, Young played with a relaxed, cool tone and used sophisticated harmonies, using what one critic called "a free-floating style, wheeling and diving like a gull, banking with low, funky riffs that pleased dancers and listeners alike".
Known for his hip, introverted style, he invented or popularized much of the hipster jargon which came to be associated with the music.
