  • Description

    Never before released, this 74-minute CD contains 12 tracks recorded live during two gigs at the Montmartre jazz club, Copenhagen, in 1965 and 1966. Except for one original composition by Webster, the repertoire consists of standards, almost half of which are ballads. A fine improviser, Ben Webster here decides to stick to the melody, throwing in trademark tonal distortions and variations. The two rhythm sections are comprised of three internationally acclaimed Danes, one Swede and the American pianist Kenny Drew. This wonderful CD strengthens Ben Webster's title as the ballad master of the tenor sax.
