With such a vibrant career as a sideman, it was relatively late before Ben Webster released his debut album under his own name. Cut in 1953 New York for the Norgran label, it was originally released as “The Consummate Artistry of Ben Webster”. The band’s lineup included Benny Carter on alto sax, Harry Edison on trumpet, pianist Oscar Peterson, Ray ...
Two years passed before Webster’s next record, entitled “Music For Loving”. Again, this was re-issued by Verve in ’57 and named “Sophisticated Lady”. The original was arranged by Duke Ellington’s collaborator and friend, Billy Strayhorn. Again favourable reviews lauded Webster’s playing as the gem on this record; no wonder it was later ranked #2 in...
By 1959, Webster was with Verve Records and had become somewhat of a living legend. On this outing he was once more backed by the Oscar Peterson Triomade up of the great pianist and his colleagues, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen. Tracks on this album include “This Can’t be Love” and “In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning”. Those in the kn...
These cats were really strutting their stuff by 1960. Ben Webster and Johnny Hodges had been close buddies since playing together in the Duke Ellington Orchestraback in the 1930s and it really shows in their playing; I suppose this is to be expected with the finest tenor sax and the greatest alto horn player of the time making a record together. Th...
A switch of record label in 1963 to Riverside and a change of pianist to then upcoming Joe Zawinul brought about another brilliant recording. Two tracks, “Soulmates” and “The Governor”, were Webster originals; “Frog Legs” was by Zawinul and they managed to squeeze in an Ellington song, “Come Sunday” too. This smaller ensemble was completed by bassi...
Recorded on March 11th and 25th, at Van Gelder Studio, New Jersey, this 1964 album was released on Impulse Records and again featured great tracks from Ellington. Also Gershwin, Washington and Dave Brubeck songsare featured. As always the whole album really swings and on “Over The Rainbow” there is a real mellow feel and almost baroque keyboard sou...
Having spent a month of 1964 in residency at Ronnie Scott’s in London and then moved around Scandinavia, Webster settled in Copenhagen, where there was little or no prejudice against blacks. Newly arrived in January 1965 he recorded this live album at the Radio Concert Hall with Kenny Drew on piano, Alex Riel on drums and Niels Henning Ørsted Peder...
This Storyville recording contains seven tracks including the well-known jazz ballads“Cry Me A River”, “Stardust” and “For Heavens Sake”. Webster was brilliant at ballads and that shows in these warm recordings, which were originally made between 1967 and 1970 and feature a host of musicians including once again, Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen on ba...
Another album released on Storyville and this one recorded in the centre of Copenhagen in the ballroom of a converted Canadian river steamboat, the “St. Lawrence”, in October 1970 during a rehearsal with the Denmark Radio Big Band along with singers Matty Peters and Freddy Albeck. This set isn’t that extensive, and in fact there are seven takes of ...
Ben Webster’s penultimate album, this time an eleven track collection recorded in Paris in June 1972. This was a quartet that also featured Georges Arva Nitas on piano, Jacky Sampson on bass and Charles Saudrais on drums. Here you can find a sax driven version of the 1928 Eddie Cantor song “Makin’ Whoopee” and the Ted Murray/Billy Moll written stan...

7. Dez. 2019 · It’s impossible to anatomise the splendour of mature Ben Webster. The endless flexibility of tone, the spare perfection of the phrasing, the masterly ease with time – they add up to a unique and authoritative voice. Of these four albums, the one which catches it best is
Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster is studio album recorded on October 16, 1957, by Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster, accompanied by a rhythm section led by Oscar Peterson. Quite possibly one of the best jazz albums ever recorded.
