Recorded in 1956 and released on the legendary Verve label, Ben Webster: King of the Tenors stands as a definitive showcase of one of jazz's most celebrated tenor saxophonists. Webster's warm, breathy tone and masterful phrasing are on full display, including his interpretation of Duke Ellington's "Cottontail," a track that highlights his deep connection to the Ellington sound.
This release is widely regarded as an ideal entry point for anyone discovering Ben Webster, offering a well-rounded selection of his playing at its finest. Presented as part of the Verve Acoustic Sounds Series, this edition features transfers sourced directly from analog tapes, remastered onto 180-gram vinyl, and housed in deluxe gatefold packaging — making it a worthy addition to any serious jazz collection.
