1958 studio album by Lester Young
Laughin' to Keep from Cryin' Lester Young featuring the trumpeters Harry "Sweets" Edison and Roy Eldridge .[ 2]
Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "...this date apparently had a lot of difficulties but the recorded results are excellent. Young takes rare clarinet solos on two of the selections with his emotional statement on "They Can't Take That Away from Me" being one of the highpoints of his career."[ 2]
