Lester Young - Saga Jazz: Basie Days (2003)

Lester Young, who presided over all saxophonists living in the clouds, (thereby distinguishing themselves from the hairy-fisted below), no doubt gave of his best when playing with Count Basie. As a matter of fact, he made his first recordings with him, and you can hear them here. Lester loved playing with him because he could always count on the most elastic rhythm section in the world (and on a few cronies able to swap phrases with him at the same altitude).
