Lester Young • Verve Jazz Masters 30

Review

With Coleman Hawkins and John Coltrane, Lester Young makes up what could be called the Holy Trinity of jazz tenor saxophonists. On this Verve compilation, we get a wonderful overview of Young's post- Count Basie Orchestra output. Selections featured here range from dates recorded in 1943 up through 1956, three years before the musician's death.

Young's cool-toned, behind-the-beat phrasing is in evidence on all 15 tracks, from the Latin inflected "In a Little Spanish Town ('Twas on a Night Like This)," through the relaxed swing of "Peg O' My Heart," to the uptempo bounce of "All of Me." This CD sizzles with great jazz performances.

Reseña

Con Coleman Hawkins y John Coltrane, Lester Young forma lo que podría llamarse la Santísima Trinidad de los saxofonistas tenores de jazz. En esta compilación de Verve, tenemos una maravillosa visión general de la producción de la Orquesta post-Conde Basie de Young. Las selecciones que se presentan aquí van desde fechas grabadas en 1943 hasta 1956, tres años antes de la muerte del músico.

El fraseo de tono frío y detrás del ritmo de Young está en evidencia en los 15 temas, desde el latín inflexionado "In a Little Spanish Town ('Twas on a Night Like This)", pasando por el relajado swing de "Peg O' My Heart", hasta el rebote uptempo de "All of Me". Este CD está lleno de grandes actuaciones de jazz.
