Lester Willis Young, nicknamed “Prez” (August 27, 1909 – March 15, 1959) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and clarinetist. He is remembered as one of the finest of the players on his instrument and for much of the hipster ethos which came to be attached to jazz.

Y todo afuera sigue opaco y apenado, como un tema de Lester Young, que siempre habla de alguna manera de la muerte.

Great new live Prez on ESP-Disk, Lester Young is one of the most influential tenor saxophonists of the bebop era. ESP-Disk is now releasing previously unavailable 1950’s broadcasts recorded at Birdland, with an array of stellar side-performers. It is our pleasure to pay homage to Prez (Lester Young) with this disc. -from website http://www.espdisk.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=26
