Ben Webster Biografie
Ben Webster (* 27. März 1909 in Kansas City, Missouri; † 20. September 1973 in Amsterdam, Niederlande; vollständiger Name: Benjamin Francis Webster) war ein US-amerikanischer Tenorsaxophonist des Jazz, der gelegentlich auch Piano und Klarinette spielte. Er wird ähnlich wie Coleman Hawkins und Lester Young als einer der großen Tenorsaxophonisten der Swing-Epoche angesehen. Seine Spielweise variierte vom manchmal gehauchten Ton in Balladen bis zum „kehlig-krächzenden Vibrato“[1] bei schnelleren Tempi. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seine Soli im Duke Ellington Orchestra von 1940 bis 1943 und später als ein meisterhafter Interpret von Balladen.[1] Seine Spitznamen waren Frog[2] und Brute[3].
