Ben Webster 1964

Tenor sax giant Ben Webster giving us his own kind of magic at the Marquee club in London on Dec 21, 1964 for the legendary BBC TV series 'Jazz 625' with three fourths of the Ronnie Scott Quartet, the great Stan Tracey on piano, Rick Laird (of later Mahavishnu fame) on bass, and Jackie Dougan on drums. Ronnie Scott jumps on stage at mid set for an excellent rendition of A Night In Tunisia in true cutting contest fashion. Host is the omnipresent Steve Race.
