In Hannover 1973 - Dvd Zone 0

Ben Webster with the Oscar Peterson Trio

Previously Unissued: Ben & Oscar's last ever collaboration!

This outstanding DVD gives us the rare opportunity to not only listen to one of the most important and influential tenor saxophonists in jazz: Ben Webster, but to see him in performance, exquisitely backed by the Oscar Peterson Trio (featuring Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen). This performance marks their final collaboration (and their only known recording together after 1959), as Ben died less than a year later, on September 20, 1973.

Ben Webster (ts), Oscar Peterson (p), N.H.Ø.P. (b) & Tony Inzalco (d). NDR Jazzworkshop TV broadcast. Live at the Funkhaus, Hannover, December 14, 1972.
