Lester "Prez" Young (1909-59) had a tenor sax sound that`s slips down painlessly, like something made of silk. With a less vibrato-laden tone than Johnny Hodges, far more languid than Hawkiins or Webster, these forty sides he made for Aladdin from 1942-45 are a cornucopeia of easeful, unhurried, balmy saxophone from a man with music flowing like honey from his mild-mannered soul.
The first four tracks of this 2-CD collection - lovingly packaged, with lengthy sleevenotes from 1975 by Leonard Feather - have an enthusiastic Nat Cole on the piano stool, and very fine they are. Body And Soul is a highlight - but there isn`t one track here that doesn`t please the ear in one way or another, usually when Prez is having his deceptively soft-spoken say.
Things start smoking with the following four, backed by the trombone of Vic Dickenson (1906-84) and the excellent pianist Dodo Marmarosa (1925-2002), These Foolish Things being a slow, forlorn delight.
Lover Come Back To Me is another standout, with Prez at his most swinging, with Willie Smith, Howard McGhee & Johnny Otis helping out.
There`s nothing here that won`t give pleasure & delight. Lester Young may have sung his song quieter and in calmer tones than most, but no less eloquently. Listening to these precious tracks, you feel present as an era of classic jazz is both coming to fruition and giving way to a more improvisatory, freer mode - for both good and ill.
The remastered quality (by the ubiquitous Michael Cuscuna) is miraculous on most tracks, those with a slight fuzziness losing nothing from their older, grainier sound. The whole thing finishes with half a dozen numbers from a Helen Humes session, the singer proving that she was one of the finest of her day, with a sense of phrasing second to none at all.
But Lester`s the star here, and it does the heart good to hear the man.
This is gorgeous, treasurable, unrepeatable jazz.
Untouchable.
