“Anyone who doesn’t play like Lester Young is wrong,” proclaimed saxophonist Brew Moore. It was a joke taken literally by a whole army of tenor saxophonists: from Stan Getz to Wardell Gray via Zoot Sims, Dexter Gordon or Paul Quinichette, they all did so with the same glee. Those were the blessed days of poets and storytellers.
