Ben Webster - Big Ben 1971

Four rare programs filmed in Europe between 1965 and 1971 featuring Ben in 3 concerts and one documentary. Three concerts from the archives of Danish TV show Ben in a variety of settings - with a trio, a big band or playing in front of a large string ensemble. The 1971 documentary BIG BEN is highlighted by rare intimate moments with Ben, one of the few times he talked openly about his career.

A delight to see and hear Ben Webster and Charlie Shavers in such fine form.

This is a beautiful film, Ben gifts us a beautiful recollection of his earliest days starting out, practicing the horn early mornings in the neighborhood……to blues with Shavers that literally slows life down so that all can bath in the moments…. this rich experience is a monumental one that repairs the human spirit and soul.
