In April 1976, at the age of 74, the legendary swing saxophonist Benny Waters made a momentous appearance at the internationally famous jazzclub Stampen, often known as The Pawnshop, in Stockholm. "Longevity, versatility and virtuosity are words that inevitably come to mind when describing Benny Waters. His career as a clarinetist, saxophonist, vocalist, composer and arranger encompassed eight decades, and his playing reflected elements from the entire history of jazz... Initially, Waters was influenced by the big tone and fluid harmonic style of saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, but he soon developed his own musical voice." - NPR High Resolution Cutting Normal production requires the creation of a 44.1kHz/16bit DDP master first.
