(16:00) Jazz 88.3 KSDS-FM San Diego On-Air Preview Week of March 27, 2017

• Upcoming Artist of the Week - Ben Webster [Wikipedia]

• Born: March 27, 1909, Kansas City, Missouri, U.S. - Died: September 20, 1973 (aged 64), Amsterdam, Netherlands

• 

• American jazz tenor saxophonist. Webster, born in Kansas City, Missouri, is considered one of the three most important "swing tenors" along with Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young. Known affectionately as The Brute,[1] or Frog, he had a tough, raspy, and brutal tone on stomps (with growls), yet on ballads he played with warmth and sentiment. Stylistically he was indebted to alto star Johnny Hodges, who, he said, taught him to play his instrument.

• Ben Webster played with Duke Ellington's orchestra for the first time in 1935, and by 1940 was performing with it full-time as the band's first major tenor soloist. His contributions (together with that of bassist Jimmy Blanton) were so important that Ellington's orchestra during that period is known as the Blanton–Webster band.
