[Jazz & Song] Young, Lester. (1909 - 1959) & Shavers, Charlie. (1920 - 1971). Signed Photograph. Signed photograph from the singer who Billie Holiday dubbed "Prez," short for "President of the Tenor Saxophone." His melodic style influenced subsequent generations of saxophonists, including Charlie Parker and Stan Getz. Famous for his porkpie hat and his hipster language - he is said to have popularized the use of the term "cool" to mean something fashionable - he finally succumbed, after a long struggle, to alcoholism at the age of 49.
One page from the program for Norman Granz’ Jazz at the Philharmonic in London on March 8, 1953, 8.5 x 11, featuring an image and brief biography of Young on one side and Shavers on the other, signed by both in fountain pen near his image. In fine condition, with some mild soiling to the Shavers side of the page. Accompanied by the cover of the program from which the page was removed.
