Now playing:
"Pres" Vol. III - Lester Young in Washington, D.C. Vol. 3 (Pablo)
Music fans owe Bill Potts a debt of thanks for recording this music.
Nat Hentoff's liner notes capture the essence of Lester Young's music as well as any writing I've ever read.
I couldn't choose one favorite.
When I saw the thread title, I thought it was going to be another lovefest for A Love Supreme. Glad that it was about Interstellar Space.
I'd go for a Rega Planar 3 and a Shure M97 XE cartridge. I'm sure there are those who will look down on the Shure, but it has excellent tracking (a very important point if you care about preserving your LPs) and very good dynamics and detail at a very low price. If your friend wants to enjoy listening to music, this might be all he needs.

Hope that at least some of these meet with approval.
Thanks, Mr. Mengelberg, for the music you played with the ICP, with others, and on your own. You'll surely be missed.
And, in agreement with Clifford, Alzheimer's is a truly terrible disease.
