PREZ

Prez

The history of jazz, the ignominy of racism and the struggle of the artist in America is the story of tenor saxophone legend Lester Young. Lester's lifetime spanned the jazz eras from Satchmo to Bird, from Jim Crow to the civil rights movement. Young's style affected all who followed: be boppers, the cool school even Jack Kerouac and the beats. His massively influential legacy for musicians and listeners is explored in this upcoming project from Ferrini Productions.
