Our Take

Ah, Benjamin "Ben" Webster, the man who could make a saxophone sing like no other. This album, Three Classic Albums Plus, is a delightful collection of some of Webster's most iconic works: Blue Saxophones, Soulville, and The Soul of Ben Webster.

First up is Blue Saxophones, and let me tell you, this album is like a fine wine - it only gets better with age. Webster's smooth, velvety tones on tracks like "Time on My Hands" and "We'll Be Together Again" will have you melting into your seat faster than you can say "Jazz is the best genre ever."

Next, we have Soulville - and boy, does Webster deliver on the soulful vibes. From the hauntingly beautiful "Stardust" to the toe-tapping "Blow Ben Blow," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you laughing, crying, and everything in between.

And finally, we come to The Soul of Ben Webster, where the man himself truly shines. Webster's pure talent and passion for music are palpable on every track, from the sultry "Chelsea Bridge" to the lively "Cry Me a River."

Overall, this album is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast, whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the genre. So grab a glass of your favourite drink, sit back, and let Ben Webster serenade you into a state of pure musical bliss. Cheers to the legend himself!
