A nice live set from Joe Williams with Ben Webster.



Joe Williams - Havin' a Good Time

Personnel: Joe Williams (vocals); Ben Webster (tenor saxophone); Junior Mance (piano); Bob Cranshaw (double bass); Mickey Roker (drums).

From Allaboutjazz.com:

"Havin' A Good Time documents a concert that never should have happened. In the winter of 1964 Providence was socked with a blizzard that kept eager concertgoers away from the club where Joe Williams was playing. Enough people showed up that he still had to perform a few sets, but the lucky few who were there were given a rare treat; improbably, Ben Webster showed up out of nowhere and asked if he could sit in."

CMJ (6/19/00, p.29) - "...Scott is like a good bottle of wine - he just keeps getting better with age....Known for his behind-the-beat phrasing, [he] chops words up by the syllable or he stretches them out...adding depth to familiar songs..."
