Lester Young
The recordings were produced by Norman Granz and the first 4 tracks were released in 1951 on a Mercury Records 10 inch LP, "The Lester Young Trio". Another 4 tracks were released in 1953 on Norman Granz' Clef Records label as "The Lester Young Trio No. 2". All 8 trio tracks were combined on a 12 inch Norgran LP, "The Lester Young Buddy Rich Trio" released in 1955. Nat King Cole was under contract with a different record label at the time so was credited only as "Aye Guy" on the original Mercury / Clef / Norgran releases.
