About "Lester Leaps In" by Quincy Jones
Lester Young's spirit leaps through Quincy Jones's arrangement, 'Lester Leaps In' a joyous sprint. Saxophones chase each other like kids in a alley, the rhythm section a trampoline. The calm of the melody belies the frantic energy—a tightrope walk over a cheering crowd.
