Very much like this album which I bought recently. Interesting format of piano-less septet under the leadership of bassist Trigger Alpert (whatever happened to him?) and all-star front line of Al, Zoot, Tony Scott, Joe Wilder and Urbie Green. The reeds double on baritone, alto and tenor, respectively. Interesting arrangements by Dick Hyman, Marty Paich and Tony Scott.

The Great Lester Young, Vol 2 (EMI/Liberty/Aladdin) "No Eyes Blues" brings tears to my eyes!

Astrud Gilberto Queen Astrid of Belgium King Oliver

The Great Lester Young, Vol 1 (EMI/Liberty/Aladdin) Lester's rendition of "My Foolish Things" must be one of the greatest recorded jazz solos ever!
