Ben Webster - Centennial Celebration (2009)

Posted By: Designol

The centennial of Ben Webster's birth occurred in 2009 and producer Nick Phillips mined the vaults of various Concord-owned labels, including Pablo, Riverside, Contemporary, and Prestige/Swingville, to create this compilation featuring the late tenor saxophonist. One of the three giants of his instrument during the 1930s and 1940s (along with Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young), Webster was still very much at the top of his game when these sessions were recorded. When he took part in the series of small-group dates with Art Tatum, he refused to be intimidated by the pianist's intricate flourishes, simply delivering majestic solos in "My One and Only Love," "All the Things You Are," and "Have You Met Miss Jones." He's very comfortable with old friends Benny Carter and Barney Bigard in an easygoing setting of Carter's "Lula." The two live tracks, "Caravan" and "Georgia on My Mind" taken from At the Renaissance, also find Webster in an inspired mood, supported by a rhythm section including pianist Jimmy Rowles and guitarist Jim Hall. But the most overlooked material is from his meeting with Austrian pianist Joe Zawinul, who was also Webster's roommate at the time, which is highlighted by the richly textured "Travelin' Light." Most Ben Webster fans likely already own all of the individual albums from which this was assembled, but for everyone else, this is an excellent introduction to the tenor saxophonist.

Review by Ken Dryden, Allmusic.com

Remembered for his seminal solos on such classics as "Cotton Tail" and "All Too Soon" as much as for his historic clashes with boss Duke Ellington, hot-tempered saxophonist Ben Webster's legacy truly stands the test of time. The year 2009, being the centennial of the tenor titan's birth, Concord Records marks the occasion with this 9-track compilation taken from four different sessions spanning the years 1956 to 1963.

Borrowed from Soulmates (Riverside, 1963)—his collaboration with Austrian piano whiz Joe Zawinul—"Like Someone In Love" is one of the tracks that garners especial attention. Exemplifying that singularly cool eloquence and bulky, breathy tone, it features the Kansas City-born blower in a superb solo that commands reverence for both the intrinsic coherence and emotional depth of the earnest storytelling it displays. With few, carefully spewed out motives and phrases, he arrives at conjuring a most perfect melodic solo. Interestingly, the belaboring outbursts that tainted his reputation paved the way to a generosity and warmth in his music making.

Indeed, the poignant, buttery tone, undulant vibrato, and soul-fathoming lines betray a sensitivity witnessed by few privileged colleagues. Guitarist Jim Hall, who performs on the two closing live tracks—"Caravan" and "Georgia on My Mind"—perhaps sums it up best: "He started telling me what Tatum was like—he loved to talk about the great ones he knew who were gone—and the next thing I knew, he was crying." Another case in point: the emotion oozing out of his horn on Kern and Hammerstein's ballad, "All The Things You Are," could not get any more touching, especially in the last chorus of his delectably debonair solo.

A ray of light, Centennial Celebration may very well be the most effective cure against the current morosity plaguing the world.
