COMMENTS:.....This LP is overflowing with legendary performances by Lester Young and members of the Count Basie Orchestra. Basie himself, however, does not appear on this release. Recorded in 1938 and 1944, this music reflects the style of jazz (swing) that came out of Kansas City early in the '30s. Young was an integral part of this scene, performing not just with Basie, but with Benny Moten, King Oliver, Walter Page's Blue Devils, and others. Still, don't be fooled, all of this music was actually recorded in New York City after Young and the Basie band left Kansas in search of greener pastures.

PLAYLIST:
Side 1:Way down yonder in New Orleans...I want a little girl...Countless blues...Pagin' the devil...I know that you know...Laughing at life...
Side 2:I got rhythm...Three little words...Four o'clock drag...Jo-Jo...Them there eyes...Good mornin' blues...
