This live set features tenor great Ben Webster playing with pianist Jimmy Rowles, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Frank Butler in a club, and the music is consistently wonderful. Whether showing warmth and sentimentality on "Georgia on My Mind" and "Stardust" or growling and roaring on "Caravan" and "Ole Miss Blues," Webster (who was then somewhat taken for granted) is in superior and creative form. Recommended. [The Japanese JVC release and Analogue Productions limited-edition "Gold" release of At the Renaissance restore the original track recording sequence.]
Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

I'm generally averse to giving a rating of 5 stars, which, to my mind, should be reserved for things that are virtually perfect. Like almost everything else, this CD is not perfect - the performers sometimes strayed way too far from the microphones, and there are occasional popping noises (they are not too loud) that one does not normally hear from CDs - but this CD is so excellent, overall, that 4 stars would just not be enough. I love this CD, and I am by no means a hardcore jazz fan. The music is great and this remaster (the Analogue Productions gold CD) is excellent. I'll bet the JVC remaster is excellent also, though I have not heard it. Nor have I heard the regular (earliest-mastered) CD, so I cannot comment about it. All I can say is this Analogue Productions disc provides great music with excellent sound-quality - though it does unfortunately come at a much higher price than the regular CD.
