The Lester Young Buddy Rich Trio is a jazz trio album recorded in Hollywood, California in March and April of 1946 by Lester Young, Nat King Cole and Buddy Rich.
Release history
The first 4 tracks were originally released on Mercury Records as The Lester Young Trio.[3] The remaining 4 tracks were released on Norman Granz' Clef Records label as The Lester Young Trio No. 2[4] before all 8 tracks were combined and released by Granz' Norgran Records label as The Lester Young Buddy Rich Trio.[5] 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.
In 1994 Verve Records released a CD version of The Lester Young Trio which combined all 8 tracks from the 1946 Hollywood trio recordings, plus an alternate take of "I Cover the Waterfront" and an additional shortened version of "Back to the Land", with 4 additional tracks recorded earlier by a quintet with Nat King Cole (but without Lester Young or Buddy Rich).
