Lester Young was one of the true jazz giants, a tenor saxophonist who came up with a completelydifferent conception in which to play his horn, floating over bar lines with a light tone rather than

adopting Coleman Hawkins' then-dominant forceful approach. A non-conformist, Young (nicknamed

"Pres" byBillie Holiday) had the ironic experience in the 1950s of hearing many young tenors try to

sound exactly like him.

Although he spent his earliest days near New Orleans, Lester Young lived in Minneapolis by 1920,

playing in a legendary family band. He studied violin, trumpet, and drums, starting on alto at age 13.

Because he refused to tour in the South, Young left home in 1927 and instead toured with Art

Bronson's Bostonians, switching to tenor. He was back with the family band in 1929 and then

freelanced for a few years, playing with Walter Page's Blue Devils (1930), Eddie Barefield in 1931, bac

with the Blue Devils during 1932-1933, and Bennie Moten and King Oliver(both 1933). He was with

Count Basie for the first time in 1934 but left to replace Coleman Hawkinswith Fletcher Henderson.

Unfortunately, it was expected thatYoungwould try to emulate Hawk, and his laid-back sound angerHenderson's sidemen, resulting in Pres not lasting long. After a tour withAndy Kirkand a few brief

jobs, Lester Young was back with Basie in 1936, just in time to star with the band as they headed Eas

Young made history during his years with Basie, not only participating on Count's record dates but

starring with Billie Holidayand Teddy Wilsonon a series of classic small-group sessions. In addition,

on his rare recordings on clarinet with Basieand the Kansas City Six,Youngdisplayed a very original

cool sound that almost sounded like altoist Paul Desmond in the 1950s. After leaving Countin 1940,

Young's career became a bit aimless, not capitalizing on his fame in the jazz world. He co-led a low-

profile band with his brother, drummer Lee Young, in Los Angeles until re- joining Basiein December

1943.Younghad a happy nine months back with the band, recorded a memorable quartet session wit

bassist Slam Stewart, and starred in the short film Jammin' the Blues before he was drafted. His

experiences dealing with racism in the military were horrifying, affecting his mental state of mind for

the remainder of his life.

Although many critics have written that Lester Young never sounded

as good after getting out of the military, despite erratic health he

actually was at his prime in the mid- to late-'40s. He toured (and was

well paid byNorman Granz) with Jazz at the Philharmonicon and off

through the '40s and '50s, made a wonderful series of recordings for

Aladdin, and worked steadily as a single.Young also adopted his style

well to bebop (which he had helped pave the way for in the 1930s).

But mentally he was suffering, building a wall between himself and

the outside world, and inventing his own colorful vocabulary.

Although many of his recordings in the 1950s were excellent (showing

a greater emotional depth than in his earlier days), Young was bothered by the fact that some of his

white imitators were making much more money than he was. He drank huge amounts of liquor andnearly stopped eating, with predictable results. 1956's Jazz Giants album found him in peak form as

did a well documented engagement in Washington, D.C., with a quartet and a last reunion with Coun

Basie at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival. But, for the 1957 telecast The Sound of Jazz,Young mostly

played sitting down (although he stole the show with an emotional one-chorus blues solo played to

Billie Holiday). After becoming ill in Paris in early 1959, Lester Young came home and essentially

drank himself to death. Many decades after his death, Presis still considered (along with Coleman

Hawkins and John Coltrane) one of the three most important tenor saxophonists of all time.
