Lester Leaps In

Played by Count Basie and His Orchestra. Features Lester Young as a primary soloist:

Notes:

• Uses an AABA Jazz Form
• Again notice how lax Lester Young is. Unlike many tenor players that try to play overly complicated stuff, he's playing pretty simple melodies, then complexifying it.
• Starting to Trading 4's with Count Basie on the piano, with imitation playing a great role.
• You get to hear Count Basie doing Boogie Woogie with very light RH (and high) accompaniment.
