I had a wonderful LP of Lester on Verve, where he played the most beautiful and breathy clarinet on as many tracks that he played sax. It was no compilation, but a reissue of an old original LP. Since that collection (nearly 2,000 records) was stolen about 18 years ago, I have never been able to track down the title so that I could get another. That and a much loved chamber music LP by Camerata Bern were the two favourites from that collection that I have failed to replace despite very many hours of hunting. Does anyone have any ideas?
Discovering Lester Young
Anyone please recomend a "good" recording from Lester Young? I love jazz sax (tenor) ballads and Lester's recording with the Oscar Peterson Trio (Verve) really hit my mark. Please advice which other Lester Young recording to get and if possible only those with superb recording because I really want to feel the warmth of the saxophone as well as accompanying bass guitar drums, strings or piano when I'm listening. Thanks for all your advice.
