Full title is: Big Ben


Ben Webster's development into one of the undisputed masters of the tenor saxophone is depicted in this budget-price box set. From his early days with the bands of Blanche Calloway, Bennie Moten, Teddy Wilson & others, to the full blossoming of his talents with Duke Ellington & small bands on 52nd Street. This is music full of energy, intensity & great passion. 94 tracks amply demonstrate what an ever developing talent this man had, the 48 page booklet tells the story of this giant among jazz musicians. Standard jewelcases housed in a slipcase. 2002.
