I remember buying his first LP..yes LP. This had to be 20 years ago and in the liner notes he was being touted as the next Sonny Stitt.The Lp and he flat out sucked. He is a flyweight among heavyweights, timing is everything. Can you imagine G on stage at a JATP?

My favorite Lester young record (laughin to keep from cryin) has Lester playing the clarinet only.Johnny Hodges (Blues a-Plenty and everybody knows Johnny Hodges) Another great record is Paul Gonsalves (Ellingtonia Moods & Blues) with Hodges joining in. Gerry Mulligan's "Night Lights" is great late night listening.
