To matytinman a big big thanks and hug for uploading this! To everybody else here listening and having a good time: cheers, 🥂, this is how great music sounds like!
Ben Webster's mellow side seems to be what most people remember about him, but he could rage and roar with the best of them. On this recording, he shows that ability on "Jive at Six," and "Cotton Tail," which is a revisiting of his classic solo with the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1940. If you have not heard that 1940 masterpiece, give it a listen! Besides the legendary Webster solo, there is some excellent ensemble playing--which is what we expect from Ellington.
MORE THAN ANY OTHER FAMOUS JAZZ IMPROVISER - Ben knew how to effectively use a wide range of volume dynamics in his solos SO very effectively creating the mood he wanted to convey!! Truly one of Ben Webster's best, most fitting recordings!
If I played tenor sax - my biggest inspiration would have been Webster. Yes, Coltrane, Dexter, Rollins etc are amazing, but if I could sound like THAT !?
Webster was one of the biggest inspirations for the generation of Trane, Dex, Newk and so many other great tenor men who came up in the late '40s. They were all subconsciously absorbing what they heard and giving us their interpretations of the music. Brecker may have passed but Leibman, Lovano, Garzone, then Carter, Redman, Potter and (again) those many others in the generation after them have ensured that the process is ongoing here in 2024 with the greats of tomorrow. The assiduous amongst us will always hear what you had called "THAT."
@@Simon.the.Likeable well, they all probably heard and were somewhat influenced- but none, especially those newer ones you mentioned, sound to me anything like THAT. They don’t have to, they should be themselves, and even if I played and wanted to sound like him, I probably couldn’t either

What a talent, tone and articulation are amazing.

@@ethiopianmusicoldies599 Yes, even after thousands of hours, one's physiology and musical experiences conspire to produce one's own unique sound.

Jazz is not ad-lib. He proves it. Do you hear this is as ad-lib otherwise advance preparation ???
He is not the king of the tenors. He is just an average musician.
-He certainly was a great sax but I prefer doctorsaxlove's sound far more controlled. No bad intention meant of course.
He set the standard for pushing a Ballad. That's not where you Coltrane clones come from. He was a Musician.
