Ben Webster - At The Renaissance (Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series)

Recorded live at the Renaissance in Hollywood, CA on October 14, 1960, Ben Webster's album "At the Renaissance" was released by Contemporary Records.

Saxophonist Webster is accompanied by Jim Hall (guitar), Jimmy Rowles (piano), Red Mitchell (bass) and Frank Butler (drums). This new edition, released as part of the Acoustic Sounds series, includes lacquers (AAA) cut from the original master tapes by Bernie Grundman and is pressed on 180 gram vinyl by QRP, and presented in a cardboard sleeve.

This is a direct two-track analog recording, with no overdubs. As such, there are some slight audible issues inherent in the recording. Most notably, you will hear a hissing or scratching sound several times on the Stardust track, notably at times 1:54, 2:00, 5:38, 6:22, 9:20, and 10:12. This is a recording defect and not a defect in your pressing. We hope this minor noise will not detract from your enjoyment of one of the greatest live jazz recordings of all time.
