Being Prez : The Life and Music of Lester Young Paperback / softback
by Dave Gelly
Part of the Popular Music History series
Paperback / softback
Description
Lester Young (1909-1959) was one of the great jazz masters, whose tenor saxophone playing brought new levels of expressiveness and subtlety to the jazz language.
Many of his recordings - with Billie Holiday, as a member of Count Basie's band, and under his own name - are numbered among the finest examples of the art.
The book follows Lester Young through his life in a rapidly changing world, showing how the music of this exceptionally sensitive man was affected by his experiences.
The author, a musician himself, examines many of Lester's classic recordings in illuminating but non-technical detail.
