Product description

Lester Young's 'Pres and Teddy' is a seminal jazz album that has stood the test of time. Originally recorded in January 1956, this iconic release features the legendary tenor saxophonist alongside the esteemed Teddy Wilson Quartet. The album's seven tracks, including 'All Of Me', 'Prisoner Of Love', and 'Our Love Is Here To Stay', showcase the group's mastery of swing jazz, with each song meticulously crafted to highlight the unique chemistry between Young and Wilson.

Released on Verve in April 1959, 'Pres and Teddy' has been widely acclaimed for its effortless blend of cool jazz and bebop sensibilities. The album's 42-minute duration is a testament to the quartet's ability to craft engaging, sophisticated music that continues to captivate audiences to this day. Lester Young's distinctive saxophone playing is, of course, a major draw, but the album's true strength lies in the collective talent of the quartet, which brings a level of depth and nuance to each performance.

With its re-release on Verve Reissues in 1987, 'Pres and Teddy' has introduced Young's timeless music to a new generation of fans. This jazz masterpiece is an essential addition to any music collection, offering a glimpse into the innovative and expressive world of one of the genre's most influential figures. Lester Young's 'Pres and Teddy' is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the art of jazz, and its enduring influence is a testament to the power of great music to transcend time and trends.

This is a 1984 Reissue released as a 2LP set.

  • Lester Young's Best Compilation

    5 out of 5 stars
    wojihaopoiloNovember 21, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Linda prensagem gatefold nacional. Essa é uma comp de respeito. O disco 1 e a primeira faixa do 2 são do álbum Pres and Teddy, considerado o melhor da fase final da carreira de Lester Young. O resto do disco 2 é o álbum Lester Young with the Oscar Peterson Trio, infelizmente com as músicas desordenadas. Foram incluídas aqui duas faixas das duas sessões, que são especiais, pois são as únicas composições dos músicos (o restante são standards), que ficaram de fora dos discos originais. E a qualidade do som é muito boa, vale muito a pena.

About Lester Young

Lester Young, affectionately known as "Pres" or "Prez," was a titan of jazz, renowned for his innovative and emotionally resonant tenor saxophone playing. Born in 1909, Young's musical journey began in his family's band, where he was taught to play multiple instruments by his father. His distinctive, relaxed, and sophisticated style revolutionized jazz improvisation and influenced generations of musicians. Young's collaborations with legends like Count Basie and Billie Holiday are legendary, and his solos often served as a transparent window into his emotional state. Despite facing personal struggles, Young's impact on jazz is immeasurable, earning him the title "President of Jazz." His legacy endures as one of the most influential figures in the history of the genre.
