A historic meeting between pianist Art Tatum and tenor sax giant Ben Webster — recorded in 1956, but only first issued by Pablo Records in the 70s! At some level, it's clear that Tatum's the star of the sessions — as most tracks start out with that introspective and often complicated approach to the keys that marks his trio and solo work — but Webster always slides in just in time to keep the record from being a standard Tatum outing — blowing with a crisp tone that's beautifully recorded here, and hardly concerned at all with the presence of Red Callender on bass and Bill Douglass on drums - who are much lower in the mix. Titles include "Night & Day," "Where Or When," "My Ideal," "Gone With The Wind," and "All The Things You Are."
Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab at Blue Heaven Studios from the original analog tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue is everything jazz fans expect from an audiophile reissue. Housed in a single pocket Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
