45rpm Limited Edition
Tatum's joined by the incomparable Ben Webster, who counters Tatum's flurry of piano notes with a warm, rich tenor tone.
No reviews
A bright spot for Webster was that when he worked, it was often with the splendid band in this album.
"Ben is still a whale of a tenor player, his approach for the ballads being as poignant and lyrical as ever.
If you’ve never heard any of these numbers, then you should place the needle on Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me or Sophisticated Lady. All other listeners will know that every single minute of this disc is pure magic!
This record is in the same league as the classic Ben Webster's Soulville.
If ever there was an LP to study the perfect art of swing tenor sax playing, then this must be it! In the 60s, fans of a rich, full sound coupled with a flowing style must have been thrilled when the LP by Ben Webster and his associates appeared on the market.
“Ben Webster”, wrote the jazz historian J. E. Behrend, “was two men in one: in fast pieces he was a musician with a throaty, croaking vibrato, while in slow ones he was a master of erotic and intensive ballades.”
