anything by ben webster; especially "at the renessance" and "coleman hawkins encounters ben webster". ben's tone is one of the most wonderful and emotive sounds in music, and is totally unique to him. he does with a sax what miles does at his peak with his trumpet. a "less is more" approach with the silence between the notes as satisfying as the notes themselves. he started as a piano player and maybe that had something to do with his style.
