One of the greatest tenors of the history with an unmistakable sound.

[@waldemarbieniak8689]

Ben Webster usłyszałem o Nim historię i obejrzałem film biograficzny w Warszawie na Akademi muzycznej w ramach festiwalu Jazz Jamboree około 87/88 roku i Byłem olśniony jego grą artykulacją i przede wszystkim brzmieniem jego śpiewnym i nadzwyczaj ciepłym niepowtarzalnym brzmieniem z tym swoim kojącym wibratem.... Myślę że jest zamałoznanym na świecie muzykiem genialnym saksofonistą jak się wydaje i zbyt mało docenionym. Gorąco polecam na te deszczowe i chłodne dni pośmiertna składanka.

I have ALWAYS loved Ben Webster, my favourite tenor sax player. Heard him live once in a park in Birmingham, England. It was a local jazz festival, and only about 20 people were there. Around 1970.

[@giftmpho7122]

Cocneu piney.

[@musicmandrew]

Now THIS is real music!!!! Emotion from the heart speaks very clearly through Ben's playing. No AI or any beat box, computer generated, auto tuned so called "music" can even come close to this genius playing!

[@b4ned]

This guy simply makes me weep.

[@johnkramer2866]

That's the sound of mr Websrer. He touches the sax like a violin

[@aaddbbcc3098]

I´ve heard some themes in YT, this man had such a peculiar way of playing.
The sax seems like it is speaking.
It has a very pleasant and warm sound, and its whisper in the end of notes.

[@elizabethferrier6429]

Start every day listening to Ben playing Chelsea Bridge.

[@rwclaw1]

Is it Chelsea Bridge with Duke or Gerry Mulligan? The latter is, in my opinion, the greatest jazz ballad ever recorded/

[@elizabethferrier6429]

@@rwclaw1 I'm new to appreciating jazz. A friend has it playing all the time. I heard Ben Webster playing Chelsea Bridge one morning and I loved it. Much for me to learn and enjoy.

[@rwclaw1]

@@elizabethferrier6429 Now try his versions of "Stardust," a song which Ben owned. There are dozens of recordings, but I'd recommend three: (1) If you Google "Ben Webster Stardust," you'' get a terrific rendition from Oslo, I think. (2) Try and find Ben Webster and Teddy Wilson, although that version doesn't have the fabulous verse. (3) Finally find "Ben Webster at the Renaissance," which has a long, long version, with solos from everyone, and Ben at the end; but listen to the applause when Ben just plays the melody.

[@waldemarbieniak8689]

Ben Webster I heard a story about him and watched a biographical film in Warsaw at the Academy of Music as part of the Jazz Jamboree festival in the late 1980s and I was delighted with his singing and exceptionally warm unique sound with his soothing vibrate .... I think he is a world-savvy musician a brilliant saxophonist as it seems and too little appreciated. Highly recommended for those rainy and cool days

[@jacquesdeghorain3162]

I have no adequate words to explain how Ben Webster's playing is beyond any other player I've ever heard in my life, it's as if his Sax is the landscape in which I dream each night. Unmatched brilliance.

[@paulhill4378]

I can't adequately put into words how I feel when I listen to Ben Webster.

I’ve read that more good jazz came from the side of his mouthpiece than other players from the bell!

There is sometimes just the vibration left of the note. The tone has gone and the echo remains.

Dans cette musique flotte une sorte de brume propice aux rêves et aux dérives douces. Un climat de paix retrouvé que l'on ressent parfois sans savoir exactement pourquoi pendant certaines nuits d'été ! Ces artistes construisent un discours d'intériorité, de respiration, qui sait faire place au silence ⏲

[@wizagab]

En ce son nagent nuages aptes au sommeil délirant, une température de quiétude rapatriée et ressentie momentanément pourtant dépourvue de savoir aux mois de juin à septembre, les hommes fabriquent une parole contenue, contenant l'air, qui connait l'absence de son.

I am not much of a jazz guy, and can't pretend to a great deal of expertise when it comes to saxophonists. Still, to my rather limited ear, nobody plays like Ben Webster. He's one of the few jazz musiicans you could play without telling me who it is, and there's a good chance I would get it right.
