Free Music Review: Young's maturity
Hit: 5 Stars
A great artist in his exuberant, "Basieish" youth, Lester Young often proved that in his mature years he could add to the subtlety and feeling, without sacrifising any of the rhythmical power.
How could anyone ever have believed that his post WW-II years were a throwaway alltogether?
Here, propelled by Peterson's fine group, The Pres swings hard, starting with the mighty "Ad Lib Blues" but in the very next song, beautiful ballad "I Can't Get Started", shows the greatest strength of his playing on this CD. The name of the game is emotion, reached through mellodic innovativeness and rhythmical subtlety.
Interestingly enough, in the company of a more emotional Teddy Wilson on another masterpiece from the 50's (Pres and Teddy , Young showed a more robust side (a bit more reminiscent of his Basie days, perhaps because of Jo Jones' magnificent drumming on that date), although he sure did show plenty of emotion when playin with Wilson and Billie Holiday back in the 30's...
But here, where the rhytmical support is stronger(and less emotionally original than Wilson's playing on the cited CD), Young's tender side really blooms. Even the songs such as "Just You, Just Me" or "(Back Home Again in) Indiana" are treated more like than ballads than joyous swing they usually bring about...
All in all, this CD, as others have rightly said can measure up with the best in the history of jazz.... Just listen to "These foolish things" or any other gem from this masterpiece...
