Nothing like a little jazz for the weekend. Again, I'm not a jazz critic and identify more as a novice, so I can't really add much value other than my own thoughts here. Two interesting things I learned: (1) The title is inaccurate - Lester Young is playing with a quartet (the guitar is the giveaway). (2) The album is a combination of three different releases and the creation seen here was compiled in 1997.
As mentioned earlier here, the library is a treasure trove of jazz, so I have had a lot of fun identifying key recordings and then identifying the libraries that have them. Generally a "top 100" list can be 95% obtained from libraries. I'm beginning to move into my next level of music exploration where I identify the artists I like most and find more recordings. Currently I have Peterson's "Night Train" (by an actual trio) and this is Lester Young's only appearance in my library as leader. I definitely plan to add to both!
