Lester Young left the Basie band in 1940 to try his hand at bandleading . . It didn't work well so he returned to the fold in the late fall of 1943. No commercial records were made during this period but Lang-Worth transcriptions and AFRS shows fill in the gaps - here is the band with Harry Edison, Joe Newman and Al Killian playing trumpet solos; Dicky Wells on trombone; Earl Warren, Jimmy Powell, Buddy Tate, Lester Young and Rudy Rutherford in the sax section and the Basie rhythm section of the boss, Freddy Green, Rodney Richardson and Jo Jones. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support
