I picked it up from the library earlier this week. Listened to it twice, but absolutely nothing in it stood out for me. Not worth the rip IMO.

I have a few fiends in Boston who I know will like the "Angels of Fenway" cut, but outside of that I agree that it is pretty non discript. Not really that bad, but not really that good either.

I got tickets to see him at Forest Hills Stadium later in te summer and you got a free copy of the CD with every pair of tickets purchased.  So I have it, but it is another disc that falls into the category of I'm glad I got to listen to it, butat the same time am glad I didn't have to lay out any cash to do so.

Ben Webster ‎– Ballads

Knew I had some Ben Webster. A clean 2x album Verve set I bought 2 or 3 years ago at PREX and never played.

On now. And bonus treat, has a version of 1 of my fav tunes, "Willow Weep For Me".

Listening here, minus a tweeter loaner amp may have wiped out.

Any one have a Vifa XT Concentric Ring Radiator tweet lying around?
