Hey folks,
I've been on a bit of a Scott Hamilton binge lately, but today it was all Lester all day--the Kansas City Sessions and LY with the Oscar Peterson trio--and, cliche as it is, I just felt like saying something about how sometimes the reality of Pres' achievement seems both ineffable and unfathomable. I mean, it's all within a fairly narrow compass defined by Young's harmonic sensibility and tone, but in that small room: oh my goodness.
He really is "the man I love."
