Compil. DE 1988 on Storyville label
Jazz (Bop, Swing)

B2 to B3: Recorded Birdland, New York City, May 19th 1951 B4 to B6: Recorded Birdland, New York City, January 15th, 1953. Opinions differ regarding the bass player [aaron Bell or Franklin Skeete] and the drummer [lee Abrams or Connie Kay], so we have decided to give both. B1: Recorded Olivia's Patio Lounge, Washington, December 8th, 1956 A4 to A6: Recorded Cafe Bohemia, New York City, December 22nd, 1956 A1 to A3: Recorded Cafe Bohemia, New York City, probably December 29th, 1956. © STORYVILLE AB 1988 These recordings have been transferred to tape from radio broadcast taken off the air by collectors in the fifties. They therefore fall considerably bellow normal professional standards of fidelity. The characteristics of the recordings have been modified in order to achieve a sound which is as faithful as possible to that of Lester Young's playing at the time.
