	Lester Young - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lester Willis Young, nicknamed "Prez" (August 27, 1909 – March 15, 1959) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and clarinetist.
		Joop Visser believes that it was Lester's residence in the stuffy Reno Club with the Count Basie Band that caused this idiosyncrasy, as by holding it that way it was the only way Lester could keep his tenor sax from knocking into someone else's instrument.
		Lester Young made his final studio recordings and live performances in Paris in March 1959, at the tail end of an abbreviated European tour during which he ate next to nothing and virtually drank himself to death.

	Lester Bangs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lester Bangs is often credited with inventing the term "punk" in reference to music:
		The Buzzcocks's song Lester Sands (Buzzcocks turn it up) is actually referring to him, dismissing Bangs' criticism as a "drop in the ocean".
		Notorious for applying the term "white nigger" (which originated in Norman Mailer's 1957 essay "The White Negro") as a euphemism for a punk, or more specifically a white social miscreant with questionable or objectionable outward idiosyncrasies, and radical beliefs deemed unacceptable by the status quo.

		Lester shows considerable originality, either when he is discussing some of the deepest problems in political theory or when he is making a contribution to some of the more casual issues of contemporary politics.
		Lester is particularly effective in rebutting Gray's critique of classical liberalism, which depends almost entirely on the author's claim that the doctrine fails to be justified in the light some fashionable contemporary doctrines.
		Lester does recognize some constraints on original acquisition, [6] deriving from a version of Locke's injunction to leave "as much and as good" for others, and also those embodied in the claim that it is illiberal for people to consume irreplaceable natural resources.

	Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/Lester Young biographer Douglas Daniels interview
		Lester's mother played piano, and there is reason to believe she had a music school in New Orleans in the late 20's.
		People who heard Lester Young said that he played altogether different from Hawkins, whose sound was a much bigger sound that explored the deeper tones of the saxophone, whereas Lester played with a C Melody inspiration in mind.
		Lester got married in Albuquerque for the first time, so he was there, his family was there and in Phoenix on the way to California, so these people were everywhere, even in the Rocky Mountain States.

	Richard Lester
		If the Lester film seems impossibly slight by comparison, I still think there is a good case to be made that it is his most plainly ambitious film and that its ambition was made possible by Lester having been emboldened by his previous string of critical and commercial successes.
		Incidentally, Lester's reputation for having foreshadowed the MTV era with his supposed quick cutting and "frenetic" camera angles is largely unfounded for the simple reason that only a handful of his films might be said to bear this "style".
		I don't regard this tendency as being in conflict with Lester's self avowed inclinations against nostalgia and sentimentality; indeed, all of his films are invested with enough perspective—enough of a sense of the realities of the world—that when true love is found in his work, it's always within leveraged circumstances.

	Songbirds: Ketty Lester
		In 1962, Lester hit the big time when her single for Era Records, Love Letters, hit #2 on the RandB charts (#5 on the pop charts), resulting in appearances on teen-oriented TV shows such as Hullabaloo as well as a full-length album (also on Era) of the same name.
		By 1964, Lester had signed with big-budget RCA Victor in an apparent effort to expand her career beyond RandB into the glitzier (and largely white) arena of chanteuse-singing-standards-with-full-orchestra.
		In an unusual move (and perhaps in response to the civil rights movement at the time), the "powers that were" at RCA viewed Lester’s soulful roots as a positive feature that set her apart from label-mates Dinah Shore, Ann-Margret, and even Lena Horne.
