A Video to accompany the sound of Lester Young with the Oscar Peterson Trio - Stardust.
It features footage of Lester Young from a 1944 film, Jammin' The Blues by Gjon Mili
"Lester Young is one of the three most influential and important tenor saxophone players of the 20th century...His lighter sound seemingly floated out of his sax, creating remarkable music that still sounds superb today.
Recorded in 1952, the sessions that comprise 'With The Oscar Peterson Trio' found Young in outstanding form and spirits, and his playing reflects it. Lester's solos were coherent, powerful, deliberate, and haunting. They displayed a great emotional depth rarely found in recorded jazz; the joys and pains of Young's life were right there for the listener to hear. The Oscar Peterson Trio back up Young perfectly. Simply put, this was and always will be essential music. " Ron Saranich
