The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Coming to prominence while a member of Count Basie's orchestra, Young was one of the most influential players on his instrument.
- In contrast to many of his hard-driving peers, Young played with a relaxed, cool tone and used sophisticated harmonies, using what one critic called "a free-floating style, wheeling and diving like a gull, banking with low, funky riffs that pleased dancers and listeners alike".
- Known for his hip, introverted style, he invented or popularized much of the hipster jargon which came to be associated with the music.
