Lester Willis Young(August 27, 1909 March 15, 1959), nicknamed “Pres” or “Prez”, was an Americanjazztenor saxophonist and occasional clarinetist.

Coming to prominence while a member ofCount Basie’s orchestra, Young was one of the most influential players on his instrument. In contrast to many of his hard-driving peers, Young played with a relaxed, cool tone and used sophisticated harmonies, using what one critic called “a free-floating style, wheeling and diving like a gull, banking with low, funky riffs that pleased dancers and listeners alike”.[1]
