Review
This live set features tenor great Ben Webster playing with pianist Jimmy Rowles, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Frank Butler in a club, and the music is consistently wonderful. Whether showing warmth and sentimentality on "Georgia on My Mind" and "Stardust" or growling and roaring on "Caravan" and "Ole Miss Blues," Webster (who was then somewhat taken for granted) is in superior and creative form. Recommended. [The OJC imprint reissue of At the Renaissance features four bonus tracks: "Gone with the Wind," "Mop Mop," "What Is This Thing Called Love?," and "Renaissance Blues."] ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
