Ben Webster and Joe Zawinul . Soulmates (1963)
What initially seems like an unlikely pairing for this
session delivers on its unique pedigree with performances that do full justice
to tenor legend Ben Webster and to the then up and coming pianist Joe Zawinul.
Recorded in 1963 while the pianist was a member of the Cannonball Adderley
Sextet, the session came about as a result of Webster's and Zawinul's sharing a
New York apartment for several months. It's actually billed as Zawinul's first
session as leader and Webster's last in the U.S. before his move to Europe. The
tunes generally keep to mid-tempos, a pace that affords Webster the opportunity
to wield the gentler side of his legendary sound. His rich, nuanced tone and
magnificent phrasing are superbly in evidence. Listeners only familiar with
Zawinul's soul-jazz side with Adderley and later his pioneering synthesizer
work with Weather Report may be surprised at his eloquent playing here in a
classic style right out of Tommy Flanagan or Red Garland. The presence of Thad
Jones -- a legend in his own right -- on cornet for four tacks is a bonus. With
a rhythm section rounded out by the slightly lesser legends of drummer Philly
Joe Jones and bassist Sam Jones, alternating with Richard Davis, there isn't
one false step on this set. It may tend to the mellower side of things, but
that simply means there's more opportunity to luxuriate in Webster's peerless
sound.
