10" LP: Lester Leaps In - Jazz At The Philharmonic Vol. 12, 1949 - Mercury MG Vol. 12

This is also from the same concert that featured Ella Fitzgerald scatting "Perdido". ;)

So feast hearty with this LIVE jam session with a pile of the top jazz men of the day - I've hardly heard Buddy Rich play with more feeling and so in touch with the groove as he is here.

The personnel for this September 18, 1949 concert are:

Roy Eldridge - trumpet
Tommy Turk - trombone
Charlie Parker - alto sax
Flip Phillips, Lester Young - tenor saxes
Hank Jones - piano
Ray Brown - bass
