Ben Webster with Art Tatum

Of all the great tenor saxophone performers, Ben Webster is my favorite. "The Frog", or "The Brute", as he was called by his friends, has unsurpassable panache and a "blowing" that sounds truly unique. His sound has the power to touch one's most inner fibers. Here we hear him playing with that other great, Art Tatum... Just feel what happens when, after the initial piano, the saxophone enters into the scene...The sweetness and deepness of the sound is just unbelievable!

And what to say about the song, with music by Guy Wood and lyrics by Robert Mellin...Such a classic!
