President of Beauty: The Life and Times of Lester Young

Billie Holiday’s birthday is April 7th. This year marks her centenary. Just like one of her closest friends, Lester Young, she too died to young. To commemorate the lives of these two iconic American Masters and how they revolutionized jazz, we will post three videos between March 15th (the day Lester passed) and April 7. If you like what you see and want to help the film that I am making about Lester Young, check out our donation film page.  This film is being made by the generosity of Lester Lovers like you. Thank you for your time. Henry Ferrini
