Madam B.Young You've had a great father ,as musician I mean, because I didn't know him.( I'm a Belgian old man born on August 25) I 'm a great admirer of the musician Lester Young, I can't get enough of hearing and listening to his music every week. I believe I own about all the pieces in which your genius father took part (230CDs + various recordings on my computer). I would have liked to attend his performances but I never had the opportunity. What a pity.
as much as Bird is the God of modern jazz, and god knows i love his music, Pres is the anandaishwara of modern jazz, and touches me in a way unlike any other....as the man says, the soulfulness...the feeling, the swing...
maaaan i first heard this man and been on a mission to learn as much as i can about him. He's the one that inspired me to pick up a Sax and be romantic AF
I'm really happy to see this because I've tried to find something on Lester Young for a long time. His musical gifting was so incredible. Just amazing. He makes me want to learn the saxophone! LOL
