Lester Young is one of the most influential tenor saxophone players of all time. His fresh and unique musical style is what made him so brilliant. His dress, his talk, and his music were the definition of “cool” in the 1930s and ’40s. Given the nickname “The Pres” by the iconic Billie Holiday, the name was her acknowledgment to Young’s ability as an artist and musician. While also a gifted clarinet player, Young is known for his remarkable tenor saxophone solos that generations after him have memorized and tried to master.
