Product Description:
The Soul of Ben Webster was one of only two collaborations between Webster and trumpeter Art Farmer (the other one was an album led by guitarist Mundell Lowe -who also plays here- with selections from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess recorded the same month as the present LP). Although both Webster and Harold Ashby were long-time members of the Duke Ellington band, this is their only existing recording together.Two complete sessions featuring Webster with pianist Teddy Wilson, as well as a 1954 reading of Billy Strayhorn's wonderful ballad Chelsea Bridge(also included on The Soul of Ben Webster) have been added as a bonus. **** AllMusic Recorded in 1958 and released the following year on , The Soul of Ben Webster is a superb example of swinging mainstream jazz and bop.Webster is in fine form throughout, as are his fellow musicians including trumpeter Art Farmer, bassist Milt Hinton, pianist Jimmy Jones, and others.
