jazz album of the week

Written By sam edwards

This week we feature a recording by two of the greatest saxophonists of all time, "Ben Webster Meets Don Byas"!

Recorded in 1968 for the German-based MPS label, this meeting of the minds is a swinging success all around. With the tenors of Webster and Byas plus the piano stylings of wildman Tete Montoliu, this set of blues and standards is not to be missed. Don Byas. Ben Webster. Check them out.

Personnel:

Ben Webster- tenor saxophone

Don Byas- tenor saxophone

Tete Montoliu- piano

Peter Trunk- bass

Albert "Tootie" Heath- drums
