This release contains the complete original album "Ben Webster and Associates" (Verve MGV-8318), which marked the last of Norman Granz’s ventures showcasing tenor saxophone icons Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins together. On this set, veteran Budd Johnson joins them on the same instrument, along with trumpeter Roy Eldridge, guitarist Les Spann, pianist Jimmy Jones, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Jo Jones. The material consists of two standards, “Time After Time” and Ellington’s “In a Mellow Tone”, plus three original compositions by Ben Webster. Two extended star-studded jam session performances also showcasing Webster and Eldridge, again recorded by Norman Granz, have been added as a bonus.
