## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Relaxed trio session lead by the saxophone master.
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2017*

The fourteen tracks here all feature Nat King Cole on piano (though on tracks 1 - 10 he is under the alias Aye Guy). Lester Young features on the first 10 tracks only. These ten tracks are the unusual trio format of tenor saxophone (Young), piano (Cole) and drums: Buddy Rich. These excellent tracks date (probably) from 1946 soon after Lester Young had been demobbed from the U.S. Army.Despite his recent return to the music scene Lester plays as well as ever: serenely, laid back and thoughtfully; beautiful. Nat Cole shows what a loss he was to jazz piano when he followed his popular singing career. He is outstanding. Drummer Buddy Rich completes the trio and complements the work of Young and Cole perfectly; indeed Cole and Rich work in such unison that the absence of a bass is not noticeable.Ten wonderful tracks of relaxed, almost "after hours" jazz.Tracks 11 - 14 are "bonus tracks" which feature an early session by Dexter Gordon (tenor) probaly recorded in 1943. The rest of the group are Harry "Sweets" Edison (trumpet), Nat Cole with bass and drums. Four enjoyable tracks which represent the work of a very youthful Dexter Gordon.

    Lester Young Trio
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 March 2012*

Good album, interesting background, bought on the strength of a Julian Joseph recommendation in BBC Music Mag. Perhaps not what one might expect when one reads the informative sleevenotes / booklet, and recorded quality not 100% - could do with a clean-up. Nevertheless, a welcome addition to the shelves, and swift supply from USA.

    Beautiful music
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2017*

I can't stop playing this CD since it arrived. Heard of them through Iggy Pop's Friday Night show on BBC6 music, and I adore their sound. Drums, piano and sax combined to create beautifully evocative and uplifting pieces.
