Benjamin Francis Webster (March 27, 1909 – September 20, 1973), a.k.a. "The Brute" or "Frog," was an influential American jazz tenor saxophonist. Webster, born in Kansas City, Missouri, was considered one of the three most important "swing tenors" along with Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young. Known affectionately as "The Brute",
he had a tough, raspy, and brutal tone on stomps (with his own
distinctive growls), yet on ballads he played with warmth and sentiment.
Stylistically he was indebted to alto star Johnny Hodges, who, he said, taught him to play his instrument.
