No one played ballads like Ben Webster.

[Hardbopjazz]

What a sound he produced from his tenor. Jimmy Heath once said Ben Webster could make his horn sound like someone singing.

Those videos must have been recorded around the time he recorded that album on MPS with Don Byas.  

Slightly OT but I picked up the ORG reissue of Ben's Black Lion title Gone With the Wind today and it's a really good sounding recording and Ben has an excellent band with him.
