Ben Webster, also known as "The Brute" or "Frog," was an influential American jazz tenor saxophonist. Born on March 27, 1909 in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, he left a lasting impact on the world of music until his death on September 20, 1973 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Webster's soulful and expressive playing style made him stand out among his peers. He collaborated with numerous renowned artists throughout his career and was often compared to fellow saxophonists *Lester Young* and *Johnny Hodges*. His contributions to jazz were significant and he continues to inspire musicians today.

In addition to his musical accomplishments, Webster had a cameo appearance as himself in the movie "Stille dage i Clichy / Quiet days on Clichy" (1970), directed by Jens Jørgen Thorsen. This further showcased his presence beyond the realm of music.

Originally released by the UK label Black Lion, an imprint that specialized in resurrecting rare gems from US jazz and blues legends, Stormy Weather stands as an unequivocal example of Webster's dynamic live prowess and a can't-miss opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to get closer to the man and his music. Mastered from the original master tapes at Bernie Grundman Studios by Chris Bellman and pressed at Pallas on 180g vinyl, this historical reissue is afforded the ultimate in audiophile production standards.
