Ben Webster and Associates is an album by American jazz saxophonist Ben Webster featuring tracks recorded in 1959 for the Verve label. Highlighted by the 20-minute version of Ellin gton's In a Mellow Tone in which tenor titans Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, and Budd Johnson plus trumpeter Roy Eldridge stretch out, not so much in a cutting contest as a laid-back jam session amongst friends. This summit meeting turned out to be a tribute to another tenor master of the same generation, Lester Young, who had died less than four weeks before this session. In a Mellow Tone(Duke Ellington Milt Gabler) - 20:16, De-Dar- 4:39, Young Bean- 6:02, Time After Time (Sammy Cahn Jule Styne) - 4:35, Budd Johnson - 9:02 Show more
