Most annoying sound in any Django recording (probably only)

No offense to penny whistle lovers, my bad.

Ok the sound is obviously terrible but after a few listen, dude kinda swings hard, if you transcribed that on a instrument with any sort of pleasant timbre those are some good lines
That's Les Lieber the saxophonist. He's the guy who went to find Django when he did not turn up for the second Carnegie Hall concert with Duke Ellington. Although Django received some adverse comments from Leonard Feather about his playing and behaviour at this concert, there are recordings showing he was actually really great.

I kinda like it.
He swung very hard! It just totally caught me off guard. I'm a video editor and I listen to Django when I edit. It disrupted my flow and I had to stop for a moment. If those lines were played on a sax, I would have been fine. And at the end of the day, I guess it's pretty cool.
I was totally getting into the Django/Ellington sessions yesterday. They're so good!! I don't know what people are talking about. At one point Django does this line that completely blew me away and the audience goes wild. This showed me, once again, that even when he plays a lot of notes, the audience follow what he's doing, because he's actually saying something. Musical communication at its highest. Thanks for telling me about Les. Imagine having to go find Django.
Yeah, it's cool! Now that I know its there, I can listen with fresh ears.
Is that a penny whistle or a piccolo? Sounds like a penny whistle but a piccolo would be more likely to be available to a sax player. But it does sound like he's limited in his not choices.
I didn't mind it.
According to Teddy, this is him. Cool dude.
Les Lieber lived to be 106.
How about the cough that can be heard in Django's recording of Body & Soul? I always brace myself when it's coming.
