Ben Webster during his years in Amsterdam. I inherited a large collection of (jazz) movies that I will publish on TH-cam. I have no idea if this material is copyrighted, if so please let me know and I will take it down.
Priceless, timeless, vitally important as a great musical voice and guide to all who care about the artistry of the best. Ben always appeals widely to non jazz music lovers (as did Hodges). He seemed to have been lovably impossible and complex.
Hello In July 1967, during the International Festival Every Year in Juli in Pori - Finland, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ben Webster We saw each other every day, during walks Ben always had a film camera with him. I am a guitarist, I played in the hotel where Ben lived. Maybe some movie from these meetings has survived. I will never forget these meetings. Ben then gave me the most beautiful musical compliment in my life. - January Zaradny
Love it that Ben is listening to and playing along with Fats Waller ( Baby Brown ) and James P. Johnson ( Havin' a Ball ), and plays some pretty mean stride, himself ( If Dreams Come True ). No doubt he wore out the LP, Father of the Stride Piano.
Two giants of music at work and Niels and a young Niels on bass loved the drummer and a sneaking a beer in before the action lol

Mevrouw Hardloper tegen Ben Webster: "En Sondee we gonnu met su all naar Artis.......Heb joe ook een lekkere dag"
