This is an essential record to any jazz collection. The pairing of Ben Webster and Art Tatum may have appeared questionable yet it works perfectly. If you like the participants and have not heard these timeless performances, you are in for a treat. Desert Island material.

A brilliant example of tenor and small unit with the legend Art Tatum. This was the very first jazz LP I had listened to as a child. Took up the piano after hearing this! Buy it now.

Format:Audio CD
This meeting of Ben Webster's lush romantic tenor with Art Tatum's rococco piano improvisations produced one of the finest of all jazz albums. Both the main particpants came out of the mid-west and this common heritage shows in the perfect synergy of their playing. Most tracks are ballads - there is also a splendid mid-tempo 'Night and Day' - and are among the most beautiful ever recorded. The bass and drums provide unobtrusive support and the sound quality is first class.
As the copyright has expired on this session, it is now available on a number of labels. This one includes, as a bonus, some Tatum solo tracks. However, I would recommend the official issue on Pablo. This includes the surviving alternate takes from the session and has been beautifully remastered from the original tapes. But, whichever version you get, this remains an essential purchase.
