Mike:
I'm assuming that what you are saying is that Jimmy Dorsey was also 
influenced by Trumbauer, because I fail to see any JD influence in Lester 
Young's playing.

It is interesting to note, however, that Charlie Parker, who was greatly 
influenced by Pres, did have much admiration for Dorsey, probably because of 
Jimmy's remarkable facility and technique.
