We wrapped up Level 2 this week learning more about the iconic tenor saxophonist, Ben Webster 🎷

🎵 Webster came out of Kansas City, one of the cradles of swing in America where he learnt to play piano from Pete Johnson and sax from Budd Johnson. After getting his start in the Young Family Band, alongside Lester Young, he was a member of the Bennie Moten Orchestra, one of the original KC big bands alongside jazz titans like Basie, Walter Page and Hot Lips Page.

🎶 He was brought in to the Ellington Orchestra in 1940 to bring in more of the KC sound, appearing on the iconic “Cottontail” track. Originally inspired by Coleman Hawkins’ style of playing, he worked alongside Johnny Hodges in the orchestra who became a major influence on his playing.
