Beskrivelse
The music on this CD has never been previously released. The tracks were recorded over four nights at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in 1964 and were Ben Webster's first recordings in Europe. Webster is accompanied by three top British jazz musicians; Stan Tracy on piano, Rick Laird on bass and Jackie Dougan on drums. The repertoire is a mixture of Ben webster standards like Cottontail and three bebop tunes - Miles Davis' The Theme, Dizzy Gillespie's Night In Tunisia and Charlie Parker's Confirmation. Webster displays deep romanticism, not sentimentality, in his poetic ballads and this CD is a joy to hear.
