BEN  WEBSTER * The Soul of... *   

?Die Vorgängerin dieser LP, Ben Webster’s "Soulville" (Verve MGV-8274) war überaus erfolgreich, selbst für den großen Verve-Stall. So lag es nahe, Ben im Juli 1958 für eine Nachfolge-Session in das Studio in New York einzuladen. Aber bei "The Soul Of Ben Webster" war es eine komplett andere Mannschaft, die zum Spiel zugegen war. Der Trompeter Art Farmer - eigentlich ein Cool-Vertreter - und Harold Ashby - Kollege aus der Ellington-Crew - und die swingende Rhythmusgruppe garantierten, dass sich 'Big Ben', wie er genannt wurde, nicht in den geliebten Harmonie-Abfolgen verirrte. "Chelsea Bridge", sicher tausendmal im Ellington Orchester variiert, ist auch in der kleinen Besetzung ein Ohrwurm.
Insgesamt eine überzeugende Formation mittlerer Größe von der Besetzung her, allerhöchster Genuss der Improvisationskunst ist jedoch in jeder Sekunde angesagt. Und das gilt auch nach über 50 Jahren!

Aufnahme: ?Juli 1958 in New York City
Produktion: Norman Granz

 

?The forerunner of this LP, Ben Webster’s "Soulville" (Verve MGV-8274) was extremely successful, even for Verve standards. It was only logical, therefore, to invite Ben to a further studio session in New York in July 1958. But for the recording of "The Soul Of Ben Webster", a completely different ensemble had been called together. The trumpeter Art Farmer - best known for Cool Jazz - along with Harold Ashby - a fellow musician from the Ellington crew - and the swinging rhythm group guarantee that 'Big Ben' (as he was known) didn’t lose his bearings during the superb harmonic progressions. "Chelsea Bridge", surely played in a thousand different ways by Duke Ellington’s orchestra, is a real gem even when performed by a small ensemble, as here.
All in all, this is a convincing medium-sized ensemble made up of remarkable protagonists whose improvisations are of the very highest calibre from beginning to end. And that opinion is still valid even 50 years later!
