Review by Scott Yanow
Although recorded late in his life (three selections are from just six months before his death), tenor-saxophonist Ben Webster is in excellent form on these sessions. Three selections feature Webster in a quintet with trumpeter Rolf Ericson, two are with a quartet that includes bassist Red Mitchell, and the other three team Webster with pianist Teddy Wilson and trumpeter Arne Ryskog. As usual, Webster performs well-known standards, coming up with something fresh to play on such numbers as "C Jam Blues," "I Got Rhythm," "Indiana" and a lengthy version of "In a Mellotone." Virtually all of his recordings from his European years (1964-73) are well-worth picking up despite the familiar repertoire.

The music on this CD (8 tunes; 67 min) has never been previously released. The CD contains three sessions with tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, recorded live at the Stampen jazz club in Stockholm, in 1969, 1971 and 1973. On each of these quintet sessions he is joined by at least one of the following major jazz stars: pianist Teddy Wilson, trumpeter Roffe Ericson, bassist Red Mitchell or drummer Ed Thigpen. The repertoire consists of five standard favorites which Webster played as a member of the Duke Ellington orchestra, plus one bebop tune. The numbers average over eight minutes in length, allowing Ben and his fellow soloists to really stretch out. Ben Webster was obviously enjoying himself on these gigs - one can hear him shouting out approval to his group members - and you will, too.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Aunque se grabó tarde en su vida (tres selecciones son de sólo seis meses antes de su muerte), el tenor-saxofonista Ben Webster está en excelente forma en estas sesiones. Tres selecciones presentan a Webster en un quinteto con el trompetista Rolf Ericson, dos están con un cuarteto que incluye al bajista Red Mitchell, y los otros tres al equipo de Webster con el pianista Teddy Wilson y el trompetista Arne Ryskog. Como de costumbre, Webster interpreta estándares bien conocidos, y se le ocurre algo nuevo para tocar en números como "C Jam Blues", "I Got Rhythm", "Indiana" y una larga versión de "In a Mellotone". Prácticamente todas sus grabaciones de sus años europeos (1964-73) son dignas de ser recogidas a pesar del repertorio familiar.

La música de este CD (8 melodías; 67 min) nunca ha sido lanzada anteriormente. El CD contiene tres sesiones con el saxofonista tenor Ben Webster, grabadas en vivo en el club de jazz Stampen de Estocolmo, en 1969, 1971 y 1973. En cada una de estas sesiones de quinteto se le une al menos una de las siguientes grandes estrellas del jazz: el pianista Teddy Wilson, el trompetista Roffe Ericson, el bajista Red Mitchell o el baterista Ed Thigpen. El repertorio consiste en cinco favoritos estándar que Webster tocó como miembro de la orquesta de Duke Ellington, más una melodía de bebop. Los números tienen una duración media de ocho minutos, lo que permite a Ben y a sus compañeros solistas estirarse mucho. Ben Webster obviamente se estaba divirtiendo en estos conciertos - se le puede escuchar gritando aprobación a los miembros de su grupo - y tú también lo harás.
