Past Events Stanley Crouch Dan Morgenstern Ira Gitler Ethan Iverson Dr. Lewis Porter Sam Newsome Come immerse yourself in the recordings and film footage of Lester "Pres" Young, whose influence as an improviser and stylist in jazz is only matched by icons of jazz such as Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker (whom he influenced), and John Coltrane. You'll also learn about his life, and hear excerpts from interviews, as Loren Schoenberg and other jazz experts provide a rounded picture of Lester Young as a man, a legend, and an artist of first rank. Be sure to check our website for regular updates - new audio/video from many of events are available for those of you who can't attend in person or for those who have but want to savor the moment! We are in the process of expanding our programming and our membership. Don't miss this opportunity to join an organization that is making great strides. We want and need your input and support. Please join us.
