On this set, veteran Budd Johnson joins them on the same instrument, along with trumpeter Roy Eldridge, guitarist Les Spann, pianist Jimmy Jones, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Jo Jones. The material consists of two standards, “Time After Time” and Ellington’s “In a Mellow Tone”, plus three original compositions by Webster.
