About Lester Young
Lester Young, affectionately known as "Pres" or "Prez," was a pioneering American jazz tenor saxophonist and clarinetist whose influence on the genre is immeasurable. Born in 1909, Young's distinctive, light, and airy sound set him apart from his contemporaries, making him one of the most influential saxophonists of the swing era, alongside Coleman Hawkins. His tenure with Count Basie's orchestra further cemented his legacy, as he revolutionized saxophone playing with his melodic grace and fluid technique. Young's impact extended beyond his saxophone skills; he was also a fine clarinettist, notably collaborating with Billie Holiday. His profound contributions to jazz earned him the title "the President of all the tenors," a testament to his enduring influence on the development of modern jazz. Young's legacy continues to inspire, making him a timeless figure in the world of jazz.
