By 2003 he was singing and fronting The Lester McLean Trio and the group released a CD entitled “Best Foot Forward” in 2005. The disc features a collection of covers and originals, 5 of which were penned by Lester.
Fast forwarding to 2011 he released “Lester McLean – LM: 4, 3,2,1” which features 12 originals all penned by McLean and 3 covers. LM: 4,3,2,1 demonstrates Lester’s versatility with a wide array of musical styles and the soulful, eclectic sound that defines his listening tastes and talents.
