Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with New York Jazz Pianist Billy Lester .. He is a late-bloomer on that reticent branch of the jazz tree, the school of Lennie Tristano. He is an instinctively lyrical & unfettered improviser who creates original compositions from variations on classic American songs' chord changes .. His mentor Sal Mosca and his recorded music ventures and a new documentary are a matter of timing and luck .. Have a listen to his story ..
