Lester Young Quartet

Lester Young Quartet is a band / group whose catalog here spans 1926–1944. The artist is connected with Bebop, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Bebop shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “I Never Knew”. Then move to “Jazz: 36 Masterpieces of Jazz Music / Jazz : 36 Chefs‐d’œuvre” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
