MatchBall Records, which uses famous photographers and rare photographs on the
jackets of classic jazz albums, now offers a 6-sided digipak CD! Originally
recorded in 1958 on The Soul of Ben Webster (Verve Records MGVS6124). Produced
by Norman Granz and featuring Art Farmer (tp), Jimmy Jones (p), Milt Hinton (b),
etc. Nine bonus tracks, including an alternate version of "Chelsea Bridge"
recorded in 1954, have been added. This photo was taken during a rehearsal for a
TV show in New York City in September 1959.

The Soul of Ben Webster (Verve Records MGVS6124) was one of only two
collaborations between Webster and trumpeter Art Farmer (the other one was an
album led by guitarist Mundell Lowe - who also plays here - with selections from
Gershwin's Porgy and Bess recorded the same month as the present LP). Although
both Webster and Harold Ashby were long-time members of the Duke Ellington band,
this is their only existing recording together. Two complete sessions featuring
Webster with pianist Teddy Wilson, as well as a 1954 reading of Billy
Strayhorn's wonderful ballad "Chelsea Bridge" (also included on The Soul of Ben
Webster) have been added as a bonus.
