Ben Webster 78s with Maynard Ferguson

BEN WEBSTER, KING'S RIFF/OLD FOLKS-- Mercury 8298

Here’s MF with Ben Webster, recorded 12/21/51, on the original 78 RPM release of these hard-to-find tracks. It's exceptionally RARE!!! Maynard was listed on recording as "Tiger Brown." It wasn't until the 10" LP and 45 EP came out a couple of years later that Maynard was identified as the trumpeter on this session.
COPY #1. This is the first copy of this rare 78 I've had for sale on the set sale pages of this website. The labels look brand new. The disc itself has a few light scratches and some minor clouding. Still, it rates a solid VG. Very, very hard to find, it's $15.00.
