Music reviews of King of the Tenors
Music Review: Title won, title proved -- Yes, the KING !
Rating: 5 Stars
A lot of words aren't needed to describe Ben Webster... maybe three at best - - SOULFUL, SWINGING and VERSATILE. - - While players to follow put more emphasis on melodic, harmonic and rhythmic explorations, Ben Webster's trademark was his tonal mastery and expressiveness on his instrument... he was one of the few players who was able to change his tone according to what he wanted to say... he could play lush, sweet, mellow and breathy on one tune... then go full honker style in another... for this reason, this CD, which definitely showcases a wide scope of elements representing his unique virtuosity is a great listen.
THAT'S ALL, of course can be described as a monumentous moment in Jazz... I can only pray more young tenor hot head will get their hands on this album and remember one thing... WARMTH, feeling and expressiveness are what its really about, not the continuity of notes one is able to play in a single riff. Webster was profound, both melodically and expressively, hence its almost impossible not to listen to this CD repeatedly with awe and respect !
