LESTER SINGS - 1941

Here is something you will enjoy IF you can get past the atrocious sound. Lester loved to sing and loved singers. Anyone who spent time with him after the war would have heard Frank Sinatra playing on the record player frequently, and of course Billie and others. Tommy Flanagan, Sadik Hakim, Bill Triglia were among those who remembered Lester's singing voice and it's even mentioned in a review that he was singing a feature. Lester's off-handed vocal on the novelty tune TWO TO TANGO, captured at the 1952 date with Oscar Peterson, has attracted attention, but that was just fun with friends. This disc captures something that logic tells us he would have been singing with his own band on their gigs, and it's a masterpiece. His vocal and his solo are in prime 1941 fashion. That's when the tune was popular (in the spring going into early summer) and that's when I think it was made, though others disagree. WHEN it was made it not that important - but the soul of it is. Dig in!
