180 gram LP with bonus CD of the album
One of the great tenors of the swing era, Ben Webster (1909-1973), known as "The Brute" for his big vibrant sound, was also uniquely warm and melodic, making him a superior interpreter of ballads. Recorded in studio with the Oscar Peterson trio in 1957, this album is one in a string of classic albums recorded by Webster for the Verve label during the '50s. After two bluesy self-penned tracks, Webster tackles five skillfully rendered ballads, including an exquisite "Where Are You".
