Product Description

CD Description

This album combines the talents of two jazz giants. Saxophonist Ben Webster was one of the instrument's most influential exponents, primarily through his work with Duke Ellington.Mulligan, meanwhile, was an integral part of the 50s west coast movement and this set represents the confluence of two different generations. The featured quintet includes drummerMel Lewis and bassist Leroy Vinnegar (who later played on the Doors' The Soft Parade), but the six tracks are noteworthy for the splendid empathy struck by Mulligan (baritone) andWebster (tenor). One of several collaborations between the former and notable guest artists, Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster is a fine example of how two seemingly disparate musicians can perform together superbly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old time, modern, 14 Nov 2009

By	I. B. Wade "basilwade" (Darlington, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster, Verve 841 661-2, is one of a few vinyl LPs that I have replaced with a CD. Well worth the expense even if only for the additional 33 minutes of new music that it contains - extra tunes not alternative takes.This album was recorded in December 1959 and the rhythm section is Jimmy Rowles, Leroy Vinnegar and Mel Lewis. Rowles has a less abrasive style than Peterson (who seemed to appear on most of the Norman Grantz records in this era)and helps to create an even more relaxed atmosphere. From his arrival on the jazz scene in 1954 Vinnegar became the rock on which many outstanding rhythm sections have been founded. Although mainly associated with big bands, like Kenton and his collaboration with Thad Jones, Mel Lewis fits in well on this session. The original LP introduced me to the lovely Strayhorn tune Chelsea Bridge, which features Webster at his typical breathy best. Apart from one standard tune the rest were Mulligan originals. The additional tracks on the CD start with a glorious version of Ellington's In A Mellow Tone. Again there is one standard but this time the 3 originals are by Webster. So all in all a nicely balanced program with wonderful interplay and blending of the 2 horns and marvellous solos by everyone.
