Exquisite and live! Words will never come close to how good this record is.. None of them reaches the level of being there that this release does 5/5 LPreview
Recorded in 1959, the "King of Baritone" sax meets his soulful, melodic tenor counterpart. With pianist Jimmy Rowles and the rhythm team of bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Mel Lewis, Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster features wonderful small-group jazz of the highest order, literally beyond classification.
This double 45 is sonically superior to both the original and the half speed mastered Mobile Fidelity reissue cut by Stan Ricker back in the 1990s, though that reissue is quite good. It’s just that you can’t beat 45rpm for opening up those high frequencies, particularly in the inner grooves.
This is an exceptional reissue of a really worthwhile encounter between two greats that should play happily in your collection for as long as you care about jazz.
