Lester Young / Charlie Parker / John Coltrane

Of these three saxophone players, Lester Young as my favorite. What a cool sound. Charlie Parker Hass to be in second place. His talent seems to be incredible. John coal train is on the elderly talented also, but he’s not quite my taste. I’m more of a person who likes melody and music rather than free jazz. Therefore, it’s easy to see why John Coltrane’s “ballads” album is probably my favorite of his. But Lester Young sound is what really grabs me.
