Ben & Sweet + 1 Bonus Track brings together two jazz legends—tenor saxophonist Ben Webster and trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison—for a session that brims with warmth, sophistication, and effortless swing. Originally recorded in 1962, this album showcases the expressive interplay between Webster’s velvety sax and Edison's lyrical trumpet, with pianist Hank Jones adding a lush harmonic backdrop to the ballads.
This release is further enriched by a bonus track featuring additional Webster solos from a rare session of Gershwin's "Porgy & Bess" compositions. From modern-sounding takes like Sweets' rendition of "Embraceable You" with a Harmon mute, to the evocative ballads that highlight each musician's artistry, Ben & Sweet + 1 Bonus Track stands as a timeless portrait of jazz collaboration.
