Though his tone had softened, Young’s phrasing remains fluid and expressive, favoring subtlety over force. Produced by Norman Granz, the date brings together Roy Eldridge and Harry “Sweets” Edison on trumpet, whose contrasting styles (fiery drive and relaxed, bluesy restraint) create a compelling musical contrast. Backed by Hank Jones (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), George Duvivier (bass), and Mickey Sheen (drums), the session blends small-group swing with a polished studio feel. Highlights include “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” and “Salute to Benny,” a tribute to Benny Goodman, who gave Young his first clarinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Verve Series features transfers from analog tapes remastered on 180g vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productView-right-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productView-details__section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"productView-details__heading\"\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productView-details__content productView-details__content__with-list\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalute to Benny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey Can't Take That Away From Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRomping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGypsy in My Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48678057738414,"sku":"199957085083","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/199957085083.webp?v=1785703281","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/lester-young-roy-eldridge-harry-edison-laughin-to-keep-from-cryin-180g-verve-acoustic-sounds-audiophile-pressing","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
