Ben Webster: At The Renaissance (CD: Contemporary- US Import)
For Ben Webster, his Los Angeles years of the late 1950s and early Sixties held massive frustration that was relieved by only a few high points. Jobs were scarce, and the lack of recognition and appreciation must have been heartbreaking for this tenor saxophone giant who felt things deeply. A bright spot for Webster was that when he worked, it was often with the splendid band in this album. In Jimmy Rowles, Jim Hall, Red Mitchell, and Frank Butler, he had sympathetic and inspirational colleagues. This live recording captures their remarkable empathy. It includes nearly 30 minutes of previously unissued music. (Fantasy, Inc.)

Ben Webster: First Concert In Denmark (CD: Storyville)
Ben Webster’s First Concert In Denmark could be called ‘a prelude to a love affair’. Why? Because it was the great tenor saxophonist’s first encounter with the country he decided to spend the rest of his life. Recorded in 1965, at the Danish Radio Concert Hall, this was a live concert for radio. His backing would be Kenny Drew, Niels Henning Ørsted-Pedersen and Alex Riel. Producer, Børge Roger Henrichsen, an esteemed bandleader and radio editor, wanted to ‘time’ the concert, so captured is Webster playing one chorus of In A Mellow Tone in two tempos for Henrichsen to get his timing in sync. Since it is live, we only get the first chorus of Cottontail at the end, before the broadcast switched to the news. (Discovery Music)
