1959 studio album by Ben Webster
Ben Webster and Associates Ben Webster featuring tracks recorded in 1959 for the Verve label.
Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars with its review by Al Cambell stating: "Ben Webster and Associates is a 1959 session that took full advantage of the long-playing LP format. Highlighted by the 20-minute version of Ellington's 'In a Mellow Tone' (taking up the entirety of side one) 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".
