Recorded live at Ronnie Scotts in 1968, this previously unreleased recording of the 'tenor giant' Ben Webster performing with Stan Tracey's 'in-house' trio of the time has been digitally re-mastered from the original reel tape. The superb quality recording perfectly captures the atmosphere of the club in 1968, including introductions by Ronnie Scott as MC. With informative liner notes by Simon Spillett, that put the people and the era into context, the CD is a must for fans of this classic period.
“What a find! Webster...was in the autumn of his career, but he could rouse himself to heights of eloquence on occasion, and he does it here. The tenor saxophone never sounded more expressive. Tracey, leading the accompanying trio, makes a perfect partner, especially on Ellington's gorgeous 'Come Sunday', which is a masterly performance by any standard. The mutual inspiration and depth of feeling, especially in this and other slow numbers, makes this a precious discovery.
”.
Dave Gelly, The Guardian
