Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars An awesome compilation.......2003-02-20

Okay, so this is a CD in the tradition of "Best of..." However, it also happens to be a GOOD CD in that vein, and contains a wide range of his work. Lester's playing is wonderful - we even get a treat of his clarinet work on "They Can't Take That Away from Me."

4 out of 5 stars Lester Swings is a great cd!.......2002-11-30

Lester Swings is a really jazzy cd. It makes you want to get up and dance and features Lester playing the tenor saxophone. This cd is a must have for all of you saxophone players out there!
