Video of the Week #81

This is Jazz at Studio 61, an 18-min TV show from 1959. I picked it because it contains rare footage of the Ahmad Jamal Trio. As a bonus, we get our second look in three weeks at a group led by tenor saxophonist Ben Webster. Here's the set list, along with approximate starting points.

Ahmad Jamal Trio
            Darn That Dream                                 0.00
            Ahmad's Blues                                    5.37
Ben Webster Sextet
            Chelsea Bridge                                    9.24
            C-Jam Blues                                      13.25

Webster and his group stand behind the Jamal Trio as they play. You may also notice jazz critic Nat Hentoff, with the beard and pipe.
