Did this come from an old Dinah Shore telecast? I seem to remember this quintet playing on her show way back when. Dig Ben Webster's growling tone! WOW! Gerry Smokes as usual!
When it's natural, it's the highest level ! Look at Gerry's face when Ben blows that motherfucker (dig his solo's ending) !! And Mulligan's solo is Bird good !!! This is the best rhythm changes video EVER, it's ridiculous. Vinnegar, Lewis and Rowles are beyond description......

@TallSomeone Well said! Ben Webster is one of the all-time greats. It's truly a shame that he doesn't get more recognition. There has never been a better tenor saxophone player.
this is what jazz is all about!!!!!

@saxamasta
Yep, he sure did. The quote is from Cottontail- which I believe that Webster soloed on on the Ellington recording as well?

Gerry Mulligan is on fire, and he is always highly animated; Ben Webster is always smooth and cruising - less animated. They form an awesome duo.

Ben Webster is still unsurpassed as a ballad player. Check out but be forewarned: grown men and women are known to have cried.
