Description
The breath before Webster leans into Time After Time tells you what this record is about. Ben Webster - Ben Webster And Associates finds the great tenor in a relaxed late-50s Verve jam, locking with fellow heavyweight Coleman Hawkins and a cooking rhythm team. In a Mellow Tone stretches past the twenty-minute mark, a warm blow where the tenors trade phrases and the drummer’s hi-hat whispers time. Young Bean gives the contrast, brisk and sly, while the ballad shows Webster’s breath and grain up close. This LP pressing gives more space around the horns and the low end sits deeper. It belongs next to late-50s Verve jam sessions and Ellington’s small-group era. Easy to throw on for a quiet Melbourne evening or a Sunday tidy, it rewards both close listening and casual spins. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Ben Webster records online with us. For players, plenty to learn from the patience in those traded choruses on In a Mellow Tone, and from how the rhythm section floats under the ballad. Our favourite moment is the sly handoff around minute nine of In a Mellow Tone. You can hear the band smile and give each soloist extra room.
