Ben Webster • At Montmartre 1965-66

 

Never before released, this 74-minute CD contains 12 tracks recorded live during two gigs at the Montmartre jazz club in Copenhagen in 1965 and 1966. Except for one original composition by Webster, the repertoire on the CD consists of standards, almost half of which are ballads. A fine improvisator, Ben Webster nevertheless always sticks to the melody, throwing in his trademark tonal distortions and variations which includes characteristic ”growls”, ”shouts”, bent notes and his famous, airy ”whisper”. The two rhythm sections are comprised of three internationally-acclaimed Danes, one Swede, and the famous American pianist Kenny Drew. This wonderful CD serves to strengthen Ben Webster’s title as the ballad master of the tenor saxophone; check out his rendition of ”Someone To Watch Out Over Me”, for example.

Este CD, de 74 minutos de duración, contiene 12 temas grabados en directo durante dos actuaciones en el club de jazz Montmartre de Copenhague en 1965 y 1966. Salvo una composición original de Webster, el repertorio del CD está formado por estándares, de los cuales casi la mitad son baladas. Ben Webster, que es un buen improvisador, se ciñe siempre a la melodía, introduciendo sus características distorsiones y variaciones tonales, que incluyen sus característicos "gruñidos", "gritos", notas dobladas y su famoso "susurro". Las dos secciones rítmicas están compuestas por tres daneses de fama internacional, un sueco y el famoso pianista estadounidense Kenny Drew. Este maravilloso CD sirve para reforzar el título de Ben Webster como maestro de la balada del saxofón tenor; compruebe su interpretación de "Someone To Watch Out Over Me", por ejemplo.
