Features Song Lyrics for Lester Young's Lester Swings album. Lester Young - Lester Swings Album Lyrics. 1. I'm Confessin' (That I Love You) Lyrics.

Lester Willis Young (August 27, 1909 – March 15, 1959), nicknamed "Pres" or "Prez", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and occasional clarinetist. Coming to prominence while a member of Count Basie's orchestra, Young was one of the most influential players on his instrument

Lester Swings: March 8, 1951 Personnel: John Lewis, piano; Gene Ramey, bass; Jo Jones, drums. This track was taken from a justly famous album called Jazz Giants. Another song worth mentioning here is They Can't Take That Away From Me (track 8), where Young plays clarinet instead of his tenor sax. About this performance Gelly remarks: "in addition to being a rare example of his skill on that instrument," it is "the last indisputably great statement of Young's recorded career.
