Lester Young Roy Eldridge and Harry Edison - Laughin\' To Keep F torrent

:: Review ::
One of tenor-saxophonist Lester Young\'s final studio sessions (he died a year later), this date apparently had a lot of difficulties but the recorded results are excellent. Prez was joined by two great swing trumpeters (Roy Eldridge and Harry \"Sweets\" Edison) and a fine rhythm section for two standards, two originals and the ballad \"Gypsy in My Soul.\" Young takes rare clarinet solos on two of the selections with his emotional statement on \"They Can\'t Take That Away from Me\" being one of the highpoints of his career.
