Taken from "There Is No Greater Love" (Black Lion, 1965)Ben Webster (tenor saxophone); Kenny Drew (piano); Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (bass); Alex Riel (drums)Recorded at Metronome Studios, Copenhagen, Denmark, September 5, 1965"Ben Webster was one of the great swing-era saxophonists, a player whose tone was a bit rougher than that of his contemporaries Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins, but who shared with them a robust, broad-toned attack that fell out of favor during the bebop years. This session was recorded in Copenhagen in 1965 and features pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and drummer Alex Riel backing Webster on a program of standards. Webster blows sublimely throughout, delivering beautiful versions of "Easy to Love," "Stardust," "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)" and, especially, "Autumn Leaves." -- Rick Anderson, AMG
