BENNY GOLSON: THE WHISPER NOT TOUR

A legend in every sense of the word, Benny Golson is one of a few jazzmen whose achievements as a composer equal his accomplishments as a saxophonist. This performance features far more than just the genius of Golson. Performing alongside Benny in this timeless, uncut concert is a plethora of talent; Art Farmer & Curtis Fuller (original members of the historic Jazztet), and the man Time Magazine called "the James Joyce of Jazz," vocalist extraordinaire, Jon Hendricks.

Already renowned in the Jazz pantheon, after writing the classic "Whisper Not," for Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band, Benny's reputation flourished. Working with talent such as Quincy Jones, Lou Rawls, Connie Francis, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Sammy Davis Jr. and Diana Ross, Golson not only secured his place as one of the world's preeminent saxophone superstars, but has also penned numerous standards such as "Killer Joe" and "I Remember Clifford."

Whether leading Philadelphia's Columbus Avenue jam sessions, playing with fellow stars such as John Coltrane, or in a Hollywood recording studio writing the scores for classic American television shows such as M*A*S*H, The Cosby Show and Mission Impossible, Jazz's elder statesman Benny Golson is simply remarkable.

Live from Berlin, witness Benny Golson display his musical mastery.
