in the meantime i found the tracklist of the upcoming "guitaristic" cd. maybe it helps a little bit: Titles on disc 1.: L'imbecile 2.: How About You 3.: All The Things You Are 4.: Relaxin' At The Grand Balcon 5.: There Will Never Be Another You 6.: Lover Man 7.: Burt's Pad 8.: Autobuzz 9.: Tis Autumn 10.: Indiana 11.: Thomasia 12.: Sextius 13.: Influence 14.: Guitaristic 15.: Imy 16.: Real Cat 17.: Someone To Watch Over Me 18.: Get Happy 19.: A Night In Tunisia 20.: My Old Flame 21.: Easy To Love 22.: Goodnight Wherever You Are Twenty two track compilation, bringing together the great jazz guitarist's work with his orchestra, his quartet, his sextet (he was clearly a busy man) and the Modern Group. An underrated player who died before realising his potential, he is now a highly respected player.

hello, i found this cover of a cd (i think a cheap production) on the net. my question is: is this a real photo of lester young or is it a painting? where can I find the original photo and (if it´s a real one) who is the photographer? thanks in advance. keep boppin´ marcel

a good and rare compilation from baldwin street music. shavers in various groups from 1940 - 1952. even with the young modern (buddy defranco, charles mingus, max roach, phil urso, george wallington and chuck wayne) he is superb. keep boppin´ marcel

“I understand that Verve is eliminating the E at the end of the word as a cost-cutting measure, while Blue Note is eliminating both E's and the space between the words. Verv and BluNōt hope these changes will resonate with younger audiences accustomed to nothing more complicated than a text message...” JfitzGenius keep boppin´ marcel
