Ben Webster • The Soul of Ben Webster

Review by Matt Collar
Recorded in 1958 and released the following year on Verve, The Soul of Ben Webster is a superb example of swinging mainstream jazz and bop. Webster is in fine form throughout, as are his fellow musicians including trumpeter Art Farmer, bassist Milt Hinton, pianist Jimmy Jones, and others.

Reseña de Matt Collar
Grabado en 1958 y publicado al año siguiente en Verve, The Soul of Ben Webster es un magnífico ejemplo de swing mainstream jazz y bop. Webster está en plena forma, al igual que sus compañeros, como el trompetista Art Farmer, el bajista Milt Hinton y el pianista Jimmy Jones, entre otros.
