Preparing with Lee Konitz to record, he handed me the Lester Young solo from “Dickie’s Dream,” one of the landmark tracks from Prez’ early recordings with Count Basie. On the record date for fun, Richie (Beirach) and me recorded the solo and played on it. This harkens back to my lessons wtih Lennie Tristano when I was 17 when I had to sing along with Lester-full circle.
