Excelente caja con cuatro cedés y un estupendo libreto que explica todo lo que tiene que explicar (sólo en inglés, eso sí) que recoge trece años de la carrera de Lester “Pres” Young, uno de los más grandes e influyentes saxos tenores de todos los tiempos.
Estos cuatro cedés presentan desde su primera grabación el 9 de noviembre de 1936 con un quinteto liderado por Count Basie al piano, hasta 1949, en sus grabaciones después de pasar por el ejército durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y en las que aparecen dos extensas jams con la Jazz at the Philharmonic en el Carnegie Hall grabadas el 17 de septiembre de 1949. Como los registros aparecen en orden cronológico se puede seguir de manera exacta el desarrollo de la carrera de este músico.
Por supuesto esto no es la historia completa de Young –siguió tocando diez años más- pero cubre un importante periodo de su vida, aquel en el que él estaba en lo alto de su poderío y todo ello envuelto en gloriosa música. Entre las múltiples joyas que aparecen en estos cuatro cedés hay que destacar las canciones interpretadas por Billie Holiday en el primer cedé; pura exquisitez y delicadeza. O la versión del “Body and Soul”, sin olvidarse de «Tickle Toe» y «Taxi War Dance».

Proper, the famous British reissue label, has given the world a series of four-CD "Proper boxes" that contain essential recordings by legendary musicians. Proper's The Lester Young Story is an excellent introduction to this man's phenomenal artistry. Beginning with two instrumentals from his very first recording session on November 9, 1936, Proper skims along the surface of the first 13 years of Lester Young's career, touching upon his adventures with Count Basie, Teddy Wilson, Billie Holiday, Una Mae Carlisle, Sammy Price, the Kansas City Six and Seven, pianist Nat King Cole, and numerous others who collaborated with Pres on records issued under his name. This musical odyssey is a colorful mosaic of historical recordings that originally appeared on the Vocalion, Columbia, Victor, Signature, Keynote, Savoy, Aladdin, and Mercury/Norgran/Verve labels. The survey closes with two extended jams from a Jazz at the Philharmonic concert held at Carnegie Hall on September 17, 1949. Although it stops short of dipping into the best of his later works, Proper's The Lester Young Story may serve both as a superb introduction and a tasty addition to already well-stocked jazz libraries.
