This reissue features Lester Young performing with a variety of groups: Oscar Peterson's Quartet, MJQ's John Lewis, a sextet featuring the great trombonist Vic Dickenson, and others. Probably the most lucid music heard on this compilation is a trio recording accompanied by Nat "King" Cole on piano and Buddy Rich on drums. While many more tracks recorded by this unlikely trio can be heard on the album entitled simply, LESTER YOUNG TRIO (Verve), LESTER SWINGS includes the most compelling track from that trio date, "I Cover the Waterfront."
This song is a lush ballad that highlights Young's wonderful light, airy tone, and Cole's distinct, full-ranged approach to the ol' ivories. Other tracks of interest include, Gershwin's "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and the title track. The former features two of the best swing era trumpet soloists, Harry "Sweets" Edison and Roy Eldridge. Herb Ellis joins in on guitar on this track, and Young is heard leading the procession on clarinet. The drowsy swing of this chart is quite memorable, if only because of its unexpected forlorn mood.
Recorded between 1946 and 1958. Includes liner notes by Dave Gelly.

Lester Swings CD music
$15.95 
This compilation contains 38 songs, including many new remixes from original master tapes, 6 previously unreleased songs, alternate versions of 3 others, and a comprehensive 36 page booklet, with historic liner notes and photos.
This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen to this set and you'll hear why. The Forgotten Trail (1969-1974) culls tracks from Poco's first eight albums, as well as unreleased ...

Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of the first Doors album, THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS supercedes all former Doors compilations. At two discs and 34 tracks, this is quite comprehensive for a band whose key lineup released only half a dozen albums. In addition to all the expected hits like ...

Since the bulk of Montgomery's greatest recordings were made for Riverside, this collection could have been better, but there's nothing about this disc that suggests it's intended to be definitive. Instead, it mixes a few of the guitarist's most famous performances ("Four on Six") with classic album tracks ("Cariba") and some downright obscure material ("Klact-Oveeseds-Tene") that was previously available only on The Complete Riverside Recordings box. It's not bad, really, although fans will find nearly all of Montgomery's Riverside albums worth exploring ...
