So I bought “Havin’ a Good Time,” from a rediscovered tape of Joe Williams performing with Ben Webster that Nat Hentoff wrote about in the Wall Street Journal last week, and it is one fine acquisition. Junior Mance, Bob Cranshaw and Mickey Roker were Joe’s band at the time. The sound is quite good for a tape and the liner notes by producer Joel Dorn are entertaining.
Oh, and did I mention it’s Joe Williams singing and Ben Webster blowing. Nuff said.
