Regarded as one of the most influential tenor saxophonists ever. As a child he played drums in the family's band, but in 1927 he quit the group and switched to tenor saxophone. Associated during his career with a number of bands, most notably Count Basie and Billie Holliday, with whom he formed a close lifelong friendship. Young's floating melodic style gave a distinctive and revolutionary approach to jazz; most of the developments in bop and post-bop owe their fundamentals to him. He was reportedly a withdrawn, moody man with a cutting sense of humor and his own language: he coined the use of "bread" to mean money, for example. That the tenor has come to hold the place it does is largely a result of Young's influence. He
inspired many young musicians to adopt the instrument. In January 1959, his last engagement was at the Blue Note Club in Paris. Died at the age of 49 from the longtime effects of alcohol.
