Title: An Excellent Compilation of Some of Lester Young's Best Solos From the 1930's
Review: I've had an earlier version of this Jazz Hour CD with 21 tracks for several years now, and it's one of my favorite compilations from the Swing Era. It has some famous recordings by Lester Young with Count Basie (in both small combos and the full Basie Orchestra) in the late 1930's on both the Columbia and Decca labels. There are also several excellent tunes with Billie Holiday on vocals. The sound quality of this CD is excellent throughout for music of this era. I think this CD is the perfect complement to Count Basie: The Complete Decca Recordings because you get some of the most important and famous Lester Young solos from the Columbia label without having to buy the Columbia Box set (America's No. 1 Band). Highly recommended.
