Posted 19 Dec 2021 "Pres and Sweets" (Verve). Heard this rec. Nov.15, 1955 album when it came out and thought that Pres was literally and distressingly quite weak -- indeed he was quite weak when I heard him at a JATP concert in Chicago in early October 1955 (which came out on LP in the early '80s as "Blues in Chicago"); and he would be hospitalized later in November for alcoholism and other physical and mental ailments, only to return triumphantly early the following year to make "Jazz Giants '56" and "Pres and Teddy." While there are a number of moments on "Pres and Sweets"when his control of the horn falters, yet there are others when his state of near incapacity leads him to carve out strikingly oblique musical solutions. On balance, I find much of what Pres plays here quite moving and, if you will, courageous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ultimate Pres performance for me in that mold is the alternate take of "You're Getting to Be a Habit With Me" from the February, 1958 session, also with Sweets - extraordinary beauty that Lester probably couldn't have even played if he wasn't in such bad shape.
