Artist: BEN WEBSTER Album: king of the tenors Label: Verve Format: MP3@320 kbps Sound Quality: FULL Size: 83 MB Time 39:23 Type: Album Country: USA Release Date: 1953 Genre: JAZZ By 1953, Ben Webster had carved out his own niche in the world of jazz (and certainly in the world of saxophone). Early in his career, the tenor man was under the spell of Coleman Hawkins and some critics considered him a mere copy. However, by the '50s, Webster had formed his own idiom. Still showing his roots, Webster nonetheless began to play with more flexible phrasing and a unique breathy tone. Uptempo numbers were intense yet controlled, and his ballad work (probably his greatest asset) was lyrical and more emotional than that of any of his contemporaries. On KING OF THE TENORS we hear Webster in two different versions of the Oscar Peterson Quartet. The first setting features only one horn (Webster), the second session features legends Harry "Sweets" Edison (trump...

Artist: BEN WEBSTER Album: SOULVILLE Label: Verve Format: MP3@320 kbps Sound Quality: FULL Size: 108 MB Time 48:45 Type: Album Country: USA Release Date: 1957 Genre: JAZZ On this 1957 date, Webster is teamed up with the great Oscar Peterson Quartet. Supporting Webster on each track, this music lays "in the pocket" (as musicians would say) quite well. Much of this is due to drummer Stan Levey's buoyant swing. Webster himself is heard on two simple blues numbers of his own penning including the title track and "Late Date." Other songs include the standards "Lover Come Back To Me," "Where Are You," and "Makin' Whoopee." Perhaps the most riveting tune on SOULVILLE, however, is the beautiful ballad "Time on My Hands." Indeed, Webster is one of the most brilliant instrumental balladeers jazz has ever produced. No one can get that airy (even sultry) tone quite like Webster. Finally, as an intriguing...

Sound Quality: Lossless Format: Flac | mp3_320Kbps Record Label: Verve Year Released: 1959 / 1988 Label:Jazz The Masters. An intimate conversation with two of the best saxophone players of the jazz age. And a magical moment in the history of the jazz records. " Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster" highlights the talents of both tenor men nicely, with Hawkins and Webster consistently complementing each other's playing. In fact, they develop a kind of conversational interplay that is quite beautiful, particularly on the gentle "It Never Entered My Mind" and the slowly swinging "Shine on Harvest Moon." Although the rest of the band consists of stellar musicians (including pianist Oscar Peterson and guitarist Herb Ellis), they concede the spotlight to Hawkins and Webster, whose dual saxophones more than carry the record. Other standout tracks include the sultry ballad "Tangerine" and the Latin-flavored "La Rosita ." - cd...
