Ben Webster - The Soul of Ben Webster / 45RPM 2LP Analogue Productions

"The Soul Of Ben Webster" captures the tenor saxophonist at the height of his powers. His band is an ideal rhythm section with fellow tenor player Harold Ashby and trumpeter Art Farmer. Farmer's modern approach provides a fascinating contrast,

but Webster outshines them all when he sings tracks like "Chelsea Bridge" and "When I Fall in Love". His ballads are simply stunning. Featuring Ben Webster & Harold Ashby on tenor sax, Art Farmer on trumpet, Mundell Lowe on guitar, Jimmy Jones

 on piano, Milt Hinton on bass and Dave Bailey on drums. This recording is part of a series of 25 Verve reissues on Analogue Productions. The recordings are re-edited by senior mastering engineer George Marino at Sterling Sound in New York. Many

of the tapes have only been sent as copies to other labels for decades, but Sterling Sound works so closely with Universal Music, who own the Verve label, that they occasionally make an exception.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
