Ben Webster

The great Ben Webster’s complete next to last studio album ever, recorded in Paris, France, in a quartet format with Georges Arvanitas on piano. Webster would only make one more studio album (with pianist Tete Montoliu, in Barcelona), and from that point his sax would only be captured on some isolated live sessions before his death in Copenhagen on September 20, 1973.
