Please, Mr. Webster Personnel: Jimmy Witherspoon: vocals Ben Webster: tenor-sax Gerald Wilson: trumpet Ernie Freeman: piano Herman Mitchell: guitar Ralph Hamilton: bass Jim Miller: drums Jimmy Witherspoon laid out two great records in 1962 on Reprise, Spoon and this one. Roots places the great blues singer and guitarist in the company of saxophonist Ben Webster, trumpeter Gerald Wilson, and a rhythm section consisting of pianist Ernie Freeman and drummer Jim Miller. The mood is laid-back, down-home, and full of emotion and sentiment. The warmth of Witherspoon's voice on material like "Your Red Wagon," "I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water," "Key to the Highway" (in one of the more unique versions ever recorded), and Jimmy Rushing's "Did You Ever" is on the other side of lonesome. Webster and Wilson underscore the sung lines with fills that accent the deep blue in Witherspoon's vocal. It's just chilling. This is one of those recordings that is a true hidden classic.
