Ben Webster - King of the Tenors (aka The Consummate Artistry of Ben Webster)
This 1953 recording is a close mic'ed, first solo outing of Webster's, accompanied by Oscar Peterson (piano), Benny Carter (alto), Harry Edison (trumpet), Herb Ellis & Barney Kessel (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), and Alvin Stoller & JC Heard (drums).
This new Verve/Acoustic Sounds re-release is mastered and pressed as well as you'd expect, and while the LP is short, it's great.

The Chronological Little Esther: 1951-1952 by Little Esther, released in 2003 on Classics.
Esther Phillips (born Esther Mae Washington;[1] December 23, 1935 – August 7, 1984) was an American singer, best known for her R&B vocals. She rose to prominence in 1950, scoring several major R&B hits including "Double Crossing Blues" and "Mistrustin' Blues" under the moniker "Little Esther."
Her first hit record was "Double Crossing Blues", with the Johnny Otis Quintette and the Robins (a vocal group), released in 1950 by Savoy Records, which reached number 1 on the Billboard R&B chart...Few female artists performing in any genre had such success in their debut year. - Wikipedia

Blues A-Plenty is an album recorded by American jazz saxophonist Johnny Hodges featuring performances recorded in 1958 and released on the Verve label - Wikipedia
Bink Figgins On Allmusic:
If you're putting on a Johnny Hodges record, you likely know what you're hoping to hear; that Johnny Hodges sound; the cry and the wail and the strut. And here, he is in full command, effortlessly swinging in a laid-back, whiskey-soaked haze, surrounded by giants like Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, Billy Strayhorn and Jimmy Woode...

Storica voce dell'orchestra di Duke Ellington, Ben Webster iniziò come molti imitando Coleman Hawkins, sviluppando poi un linguaggio più personale. Lo ascoltiamo qua su Chelsea Bridge, un tema suggestivo composto dal braccio destro di Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn.

Ben Webster centellina le note del tema, resta sempre indietro rispetto al tempo, vero maestro del “non detto” e delle sfumature. Ascoltiamo e analizziamo "Chelsea Bridge".

Wanted to Do One Together (also released as Ben and "Sweets") is an album by Ben Webster and Harry "Sweets" Edison, recorded in 1962 and released by the Columbia label. Webster had previously recorded with Edison on his albums Sweets (Clef, 1956) and Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You (Verve, 1957).
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated, "Tenor saxophonist Ben Webster and trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison, both veterans of the swing era (although associated with different orchestras), had long wanted to record a full album together. The results, a swinging quintet set with pianist Hank Jones, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Clarence Johnston, are quite rewarding... Nothing unexpected occurs but the melodic music is quite enjoyable". - Wikipedia
Ben Webster - At the Renaissance
(Good follow-up since Hall is one of Lage’s inspirations.)
This re-master/re-press from last year is a gem: great playing by Webster, Jim Hall (guitar), Jimmy Rowles (piano), Frank Butler (drums), and Red Mitchell (bass); great recording and mastering (hard to believe it's from 1960); and a nice selection of standards.
Alway fun to listen to Webster fit his growling tone around sweet melodies.
Art Tatum & Ben Webster - The Tatum Group Masterpieces
Since we're already on Ben Webster, here's a 1956 recording of Webster and Tatum (it was Tatum’s last recording), playing together in their only album together.
A bit different than you might expect, since (as Allmusic points out) Tatum often continues playing the melody under Webster during his solos.
Anyway, originally on Verve, but reissued on Pablo by Granz (so he retained some LPs).
Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster
1959 set, but might has well have been recorded yesterday, bringing together two great sax players, Mulligan on baritone and Webster on tenor.
They're joined by Jimmy Rowles (piano), Mel Lewis (drums), and Leroy Vinnegar (bass).
Swinging, "cool" jazz; good stuff, and another example of these “x meets y" series, playing styles against each other, which often works.

Ben Webster era capace di suonare in modo potente e appassionato ma la sue caratteristiche più originali sono il timbro caldo e l'uso magistrale delle dinamiche, come possiamo ascoltare in "Chelsea Bridge".
