about

Lester Young was one of the most influential tenor saxophonists in jazz history. ESP-Disk is now releasing previously unavailable 1950s broadcasts recorded at Birdland, with an array of stellar side-performers. It is our pleasure to pay homage to "Prez" with this disc.

"Young has many fine moments on this collection, excelling on both his uptempo 'Lester Leaps In' and introspective ballad performances such as 'These Foolish Things' and 'Polka Dots and Moonbeams.'"
- Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
