DESCRIPTION

  • 1xLP pressed on 180g Black Vinyl
  • Originally recorded and released in 1958
  • Features transfers from analog tapes remastered on 180g vinyl
  • Captures saxophonist Lester Young in one of his final studio sessions

Recorded and released in 1958, just over a year before his death, Laughinā€™ to Keep from Cryinā€™ captures saxophonist Lester Young in one of his final studio sessions. Though his tone had softened, Youngā€™s phrasing remains fluid and expressive, favoring subtlety over force. Produced by Norman Granz, the date brings together Roy Eldridge and Harry ā€œSweetsā€ Edison on trumpet, whose contrasting styles (fiery drive and relaxed, bluesy restraint) create a compelling musical contrast. Backed by Hank Jones (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), George Duvivier (bass), and Mickey Sheen (drums), the session blends small-group swing with a polished studio feel. Highlights include ā€œThey Canā€™t Take That Away from Meā€ and ā€œSalute to Benny,ā€ a tribute to Benny Goodman, who gave Young his first clarinet. Verveā€™s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes remastered on 180g vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

Best naruto record!

For all fans, this is a must-buy. Especially hooked by the track Wind, which is the very first ending of the anime.
