Lester Young: Song of the Spirit

ARTIST(S):   Lester Young
PRICE:    $15.00
MEDIA:   Video

We are proud to bring you this little-known jazz documentary, in our opinion, the best in its field, centering on the President of the tenor saxophone, the one and only Lester Young. This was written and produced by our good friend Bruce Fredericksen (and if anyone can contact him, let us know), who had a passion for Prez that is evident in every frame of this tribute. Rare film of Prez, along with on-camera interviews with the likes of Bobby Scott, Jo Jones, John Hammond, John Lewis, Buster Smith, Dizzy Gillespie, Connie Kay, friends and relatives, bring the elusive legend of Prez to life. This is a must, must have. Bonus clip is the famed "Jammin' the Blues" short with Prez and the gang.
