I like your list for the most part, particularly the inclusion of
George Barnes (not many people know of him or his abilities) and
Christopher Parkening. I must, however, profess ignorance of the
Rock guitarists and saxaphonist. Was also pleased to see that you
included Hampton Hawes. I dont find personally that Stanley
Turrentine is in the same league with Lester Young, but then again
you did say these guys were your favorites.I have been listening to a lot of Lester Young lately, having recently
acquired a 6 disc set of his small group recordings up to 1951. God,
after many years of listening to him, I am just now starting to
understand and appreciate just how great he really was, thanks to these
discs. My next listening "project", if you will, may have to be
Charlie Parker, Lester's chief disciple.Mike
