Here's the whole shebang... a re-upload of the 16CD set of (nearly) all of Lester Young's known live recordings. I got this from a kind soul many years ago, and the files that are still up (about half of them) from the first round are among the most downloaded of all the years I've had this blog... so I figured it would be time to bring this on again.
The files are unchanged - but the information for the two August 1956 sessions has been updated below (and in the overview file that you'll find in the comments).
If you have any corrections or additions to the discography, please leave a comment and do let me know!
