Lester Young změnil jazz tím, že přestal tlačit na objem a sílu tónu. Jeho tenor nebyl hlasitý ani soutěživý, ale klidný, přesně položený a otevřený prostoru. V novém profilovém textu se vracíme k „Presovi“ skrze malé skupiny, spolupráci s Billie Holiday i pozdní léta poznamenaná válkou. Jazz, který mluví potichu.

#LesterYoung (1909–1959)

The trouble with most musicians today is that they are copycats. Of course you have to start out playing like someone else. You have a model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. But then you start playing for yourself.

Jazz hat mir die Lebensfreude wieder in das Leben gebracht. Dafür bin ich unendlich dankbar! Mit Lester Young kann ich nun sagen: "Sometimes I'm Happy!"

When I think, "Who the hell is that? It sounds like Charley Christian, but it can't be?" It's always Barney Kessel.

Malgrado abbia avuto più successo come cantante, Nat King Cole è un pianista raffinato ed originale. Il suo assolo ricorda quasi lo stile di Thelonious Monk.

Ho analizzato la sua esecuzione di "The Man I Love", insieme a Lester Young. 👉 https://go.leoravera.it/3Nrveyo

Nat King Cole è un pianista raffinato e originale, è un vero peccato che abbia deciso di lasciare il piano ed esprimersi quasi esclusivamente come cantante.
Lo ascoltiamo insieme a Lester Young in "I've Found a New Baby".

Il testo di "All of Me" esprime l' amarezza e la disillusione di un amante delusa, che si sente usata e abbandonata. Per questo mi piace molto la versione di Lester Young, la voce del suo sax è sempre malinconica e languida.

"Without Your Love" è uno dei tanti brani che testimoniano il sodalizio umano ed artistico tra Lester Young e Billie Holiday. I loro duetti sono eguagliati solo da quelli di Ella FItzgerald e Louis Armstrong.

"I've Found a New Baby" è un grande classico degli anni '30. In questa registrazione gli strumenti entrano uno alla volta, suonando quattro misure ciascuno. Un'intro divertente, molto originale.

La voce del sassofono di Lester Young è malinconica per natura, per questo mi piace la sua versione di All of Me. Ha una vena un po' dolce e un po' amara, che ben riflette il testo della canzone.

Billy Holiday inventò un soprannome per l'amico Lester Young, lo chiamò “Prez”, in quanto per lei era il "presidente” di tutti i sassofonisti tenore. I loro duetti sono musica meravigliosa, eccone un esempio.
