Wayfaring Webster
Daybreak / Light in the Attic / Tidal Waves 114 - 2 LP set on 180g vinyl
Tenor saxophonist Ben Webster (born Kansas City, 1909) needs little introduction, Webster is regarded as one of the three foremost swing era tenor saxophonists – the two others being Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young. His ballad playing and sound inspired such later fellow saxophonists as Archie Shepp, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. Webster became famous for his unique sound, quick tempos, his solos that contained great virile rhythmic momentum, a rasping timbre and an almost brutal aggressiveness filled with growl, while his ballad playing was breathy, tender and sensual. Wayfaring Webster contains rare unearthed Dutch recordings from 1970, featuring an all-star line-up (Cees Slinger, REob Langereis, John Engels). Released for the first time on vinyl for Record Store Day / Black Friday 2023 exclusively for the UK / European market.
