LRC ( LESTER RECORDING CATALOGUE) **** Available from March 15, 2013 ****
Sonny Lester (born November 15, 1924) became a very successful producer and A&R man (talent scout) in
the late 1950s. Working primarily for Time and Roulette Records, he produced a variety of recordings in the
popular, jazz, blues and easy listening fields.
In 1966, he partnered with engineer Phil Ramone and arranger Manny Albam to form Solid State Records,
a jazz division of the large United Artists Corporation. Using advanced techniques to achieve the best sound
and fancy pop-art covers similar to Enoch Light’s Command label, Solid State issued several very worthy
jazz and easy listening projects Nowadays LRC (Lester Recording Catalogue) releases jazz records as CDs. In
the early 1990s, Lester retained the rights to a number of records he produced in the 1960s and 1970s and
reissued them as CDs on LRC. The company’s catalog includes music by Bucky Pizzarelli, John Bunch, Lucky
Thompson, Benny Golson, Jimmy McGriff or The Modern Jazz Quartet among others.
