Verve Acoustic Sounds Series jazz album featuring two legendary saxophonists
Ben Webster Gerry Mulligan 180 gram record---Recorded in Los Angeles in November and December 1959, Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster brings together two distinctive voices in jazz saxophone. Gerry Mulligan, renowned for his deep-toned baritone saxophone and association with West Coast cool jazz, joins Ben Webster, whose rich, expressive tenor saxophone sound became one of the defining voices of the swing era.
Their contrasting styles complement one another throughout the album. Mulligan’s relaxed phrasing and carefully shaped lines meet Webster’s warm, soulful tone, creating performances that are lyrical, swinging and full of character. The rhythm section features pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Mel Lewis, whose sensitive accompaniment supports the two saxophonists without overpowering their musical conversation.
