Ben Webster - Stardust

LIMITED DELUXE 2-TAPE EDITIO

The nickname “The Brute and the Beautiful” was aptly given to Ben Webster.

He became famous for his beautiful sound, which gave his ballad playing a unique touch of tenderness,

while his playing at faster tempos was virile and filled with growls.

Webster is among that exclusive hierarchy of jazz artists for whose consistent excellence,

there can never be an overabundance of recorded testimony.

He is regarded as one of the three foremost swing-era tenor saxophonists,

the two others being Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young.

A must for all Ben Webster fans
