Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
As a meticulous selection of over 90 titles from the first 20 years of the Webster discography Big Ben could hardly be bettered. It traces the career of one of the great masters of the tenor saxophone from his unimpressive beginnings in 1931 to the marvellous years with Duke Ellington in the early 40s and the freelancing which followed, culminating in two sessions from 1951 which demonstrate Webster's incomparable ballad style in its full maturity.

The first CD traces the early stylistic developments through sessions with Bennie Moten, Fletcher Henderson, Billie Holiday and Teddy Wilson, while the second covers the period with Ellington which also included dates with Jack Teagarden and Slim Gaillard. Among the tracks selected here are the first recordings of such classics as "Cottontail", "Sepia Panorama", "Chelsea Bridge" and "Perdido". The third and fourth CDs follow Ben through the 40s as he recorded with big band leaders Woody Herman and Jay McShann, veterans including Hot Lips Page and Cozy Cole and boppers such as Dizzy Gillespie and Idrees Sulieman. There are also eight tracks from two quartet sessions featuring the unique drumming of Big Sid Catlett and showing Webster at his most relaxed. Lengthy and informative notes by producer Joop Visser complete an attractively produced package representing exceptional value for money. --Graham Colombé
