Ben Webster - See You At The Fair 1964

Jazz

Ben Webster's final American recording was one of his greatest. At 55, the tenor saxophonist was still very much in his prime but considered out of style in the U.S. He would soon permanently move to Europe where he was better appreciated. Webster's tone has rarely sounded more beautiful than on "Someone To Watch Over Me" and "Our Love Is Here To Stay".

Coleman Hawkins' influence is quite apparent even on such later recordings as this.
However, on ballads such as "Over the Rainbow" and "Stardust" we hear a lush, relaxed approach, one that earned Webster the title of one of the great instrumental balladeers in jazz history. A compelling listen, SEE YOU AT THE FAIR is one of Webster's best later period releases, as well as his last recording made in the United States.
