Here is some more Lester Young Fanboyism:

"Foster and Wess sound like their time and place. Lester Young doesn’t. He sounds like the past and the future."

I agree.

This is from a blog entry of one my favourite writers and musicians in todays jazz community: Ethan Iverson on his "Do the Math". It's about small band sessions Prez did in the 30ies and 40ies.

#nowplaying - #lesteryoung in washington dc, december 1956, perfectly bottled sad sweetness. picked this up a few weeks ago, but coincidentally ted gioia just wrote about these shows, a feel-good holiday #jazz story about how these gigs & recordings came to be, calling it #pres's last great album. guess i'll be looking for the others. https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/my-favorite-jazz-holiday-story-lester
