Music reviews of Big Ben

Music Review: Ben's Best from 1931-1951
Rating: 4 Stars

This is a perfectly listenable box set of some of Ben Webster's best recordings in his prime. If, unlike myself, you're just moderately interested in Webster's music (perish the thought), then this box may suit you fine. Personally, I find Proper, while putting nice sets together, uses a little too much noise reduction resulting in a bit of a muddy sound, although I've heard much worse (like I said, this set is quite listenable). For those who may want to spend more dough, I would suggest Complete 1943-51 Small Group Recordings and Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band which cover the the better parts of this set, but in better sound. And, of course, there are quite a few must have albums later in the 50's and on into the 60's such as Soulville, his collaborations with Sweets Edison, Oscar Peterson, Coleman Hawkins and Gerry Mulligan, Bounce Blues, See You at the Fair, Stormy Weather, Gone With the Wind, The Soul of Ben Webster, etc. etc. etc. You can't own too much Ben Webster and this box is a fine example why.

Description of Big Ben

Ben Webster's development into one of the undisputed masters of the tenor saxophone is depicted in this budget-price box set. From his early days with the bands of Blanche Calloway, Bennie Moten, Teddy Wilson & others, to the full blossoming of his talents with Duke Ellington & small bands on 52nd Street. This is music full of energy, intensity & great passion. 94 tracks amply demonstrate what an ever developing talent this man had, the 48 page booklet tells the story of this giant among jazz musicians. Standard jewel cases housed in a slipcase. 2002.
