Performer Notes:

• Full title: Lester Young With The Oscar Peterson Trio.
• Personnel: Lester Young (vocals, tenor saxophone); Oscar Peterson (piano); Barney Kessel (guitar); Ray Brown (bass); J. C. Heard (drums).
• Recorded in New York, New York in November 1952. Includes liner notes by Douglas Henry Daniels.
• Personnel: Lester Young (tenor saxophone); Oscar Peterson (piano); Barney Kessel (bass); J.C. Heard (drums).
• It could be argued that the modern saxophonist makes some musical allusion to Lester Young--no matter how remote or indirect--in every solo rendered. On this release (1952), we hear the legendary "President of the saxophone" in great company. One cant get much more polished and refined than the Oscar Peterson Quartet (the albums title is incorrect; we do not hear a trio on this recording).
• Indeed, Young is superbly accompanied by Peterson on piano, Barney Kessel on guitar, Ray Brown on bass, and J.C. Heard on drums. Highlights on WITH THE OSCAR PETERSON TRIO include the somber ballad version of "There Will Never Be Another You" and the lively "Tea for Two." Finally, on "(It Takes) Two to Tango" we hear Young singing: a very rare treat. His bawdy improvised lyrics and carefree delivery are quite charming, as are the number of very funny outtakes from the session itself.
