Sweet - 1957, Ben Webster's "Soulville" with Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Herb Ellis.Webster's tone: always thick, sometimes husky, sometimes raunchy.  I could go on & on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZhmuUhcn9k

Mahgister, it seems you connote perfection with mechanical ability, so we're probably not on the same wavelength.  The important thing is that you brought us Chet and Philip tonite.  Thank you for that.

frogman, Joey Alexander was the first one who came to mind when the subject first came up on "Jazz for Aficionados," so I'm not surprised to see him mentioned in the first response here.  He is also quite a gentleman.This young lady, Kiesse Nanor,... 
New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running.....
