brownie Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) Has anyone heard the album of Ben playing Spirituals and other public domain material, done on the cheap for some scandinavian supermarket? If you're speaking of the album that includes 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen', 'Deep River', 'Greensleeves', 'Carry Me Back to Old Virginia' and other traditional tunes, this was released at the time on French RCA under the title 'Ben At His Best'. A vinyl. Webster was in fine form throughout. The whole sounded pretty secular to my ears. Will spin this later in the day! Just want to add that I can't remember a less than very good Ben Webster session! Also I'ld be more than happy if the supermarket I go to played this music!

Dave James Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Marty, I just saw your post for the first time right now. I did a quick check on e-Bay, and there are two Webster Complete Emarcy in the e-Bay store. One for $79.99 and one for $84.94. There is one Japanese copy up for auction, but it's only been listed for a short time. With 4+ days to run, it's at $9.99 Seems to me, one of these went for a fair amount over $100 awhile back. Perhaps "huge" was a bit of an overstatement, although any time you get into the $30+ range for one CD, it's close. Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
