This release presents a complete never
before heard live concert by the great Ben Webster in his only known
performance with trumpeter Benny Bailey. They are the only horn players
featured on more than half of the tracks, resulting in a buoyant and
swinging session reminiscent of the Basie band. Accompaniment is
provided by a group of first-rate European musicians. As a bonus, a
rarely heard broadcast recorded at the Café Bohemia a decade earlier,
which finds Webster paired with another great trumpeter: Roy Eldridge.
The sound quality on both sessions is excellent.
