BEN WEBSTER - MEETS OSCAR PETERSON (180g IMPORT LP)

Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson on 180g Import LP from Speakers Corner

Here is one of the classic pairings in jazz. There are no arrangements to speak of (an 8-bar intro is fancy stuff here) the better to let Ben Webster, he of the breathy, cavernous sound, blow a program of timeless songs. Pianist Oscar Peterson is the perfect foil. His effortless swing setting up the tenor saxophonist just the way he liked it. A master class in tenor saxophone ballads. Musicians include Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. This record is in the same league as the classic Ben Webster's Soulville.
