LESTER YOUNG MEMORIAL ALBUM EPIC 501653 2XCD's Crotchet. Lester Young was without a doubt one of the most influential Tenor Sax players of all time, without him there would have been no Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, or Al Cohn; all were strongly influenced by his playing. When he joined the Basie Band however, there were many detractors and his playing did not get immediate recognition. His lighter tone and unfamiliar style of improvisation did not sit comfortable with those who were used to the heavier sound of Coleman Hawkins and Hershel Evans. Basie who was made of sterner stuff realised that Lester was the sound of the future.
