Lester ‘Prez’ Young t shirt
I admire Lester Willis Young for his multi-influential characteristics as a jazz musician not just in his playing but in his being responsible for creating the very essence of what a jazz ‘cat” is all about.
Viewed as an eccentric, he created his own language that his friends could understand, that might baffle outsiders. He dressed distinctively, especially in his trademark pork pie hat. When he played saxophone he played with a cool tone, displayed sophisticated harmonies in a relaxed style and particularly in his younger days, he would sometimes hold the horn off to the right side at a near-horizontal angle, like a flute.
Young was dubbed Prez (short for president, a title given to him by Billie Holiday).
