[edit] Copyright violations

Much of the content of this page appears to be taken verbatim from www.allmusic.com. Lookup Lester Young there. This is copyrighted material.

[edit] "tenor man"

is the song "tenor man" originally by Karl Denson's Tiny Universe?

I have no idea. I've removed it along with all the copyvio material from the All Music Guide (and the rather dubious statement that Young "turned to bebop"). Charles Mingus's Goodbye Pork Pie Hat is a far more famous tribute to Young. I'll have a go at the latter half of Young's career this evening when I have access to books and CD notes. --Andrew Norman 8 July 2005 11:42 (UTC)
