These are another two CDs, to celebrate Lester Young's 100th birthday, which is today (27. avg.). A bunch of rare live and studio recordings, mostly from 1950s. Especially interesting is track with Lester and Dizzy Gillespie, suported by Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Herb Ellis and Buddy Rich, recorded on some live occasion almost at the end of Lester's career.
By Hashim Welch
In the late 1950's, Lester began to have health problems. While he was on tour, he continued to record and make concert and festival appearances and was featured on television's The Sound Of Jazz in 1957. In these final years his health was slowly deteriorating; and his band broke up. Lester went on tour with Miles Davis, but was very disheartened to receive bad ratings. Despite this recent downfall, the Encyclopedia Yearbook of Jazz named Lester Young the greatest tenor saxophone ever in 1956 (Late Years). Young had taken to drinking excessively and wasn't eating well. It is likely that the disrespect he was beginning to receive led him to drink even more. Young had other complications including an untreated case of syphilis. He was admitted to a hospital in 1957 and was treated for malnutrition, alcoholism, and cirrhosis of the liver. The doctors told Young he didn't have much longer to live. He returned home in 1958 and was actually able to tour again briefly. Lester Young passed away on March 15, 1959.
According to Ken Burns and his film series for PBS on Jazz, Young's creed was simple: "You've got to be original, man." Yet he rose in the ranks of the big bands during the age of jazz conformity. Burns adds, "Young's fierce individualism, no less than his liquid tone, distinguished him from the ensemble as the essence of cool. He swung like mad, but he stayed cool.
He went off on his own in the Forties, and over nearly twenty years his inimitable legato phrasing spawned hundreds of imitators. They spoke, in the early Fifties, of the Birth of the Cool." Ken Burns says that Lester Young was its daddy.
