A lively version of a Lester Young tune

Advertisement

At the 2002 Jazzwoche Burghausen, a German jazz festival, veteran tenor-saxophonist Plas Johnson led an all-star quintet through “Lester Leaps In.”

Jay Thomas, who has a fairly cool and light sound, solos first before being followed by Plas Johnson who has a deeper and larger tone.

The two tenors enjoy themselves trading off before they bring the spirited performance to a close.

Personnel:

Plas Johnson, tenor
Jay Thomas, tenor
Pete Jolly, piano
Chuck Berghofer, bass
Joe LaBarbera, drums

- Scott Yanow
