Meets Oscar Peterson (Acoustic Sounds) (180g) [LP]

Here is one of the classic partnerships in jazz. There are no arrangements to speak of - an 8-bar intro is just showmanship here - so Ben Webster, the man with the breathy, cavernous sound, can play a program of timeless songs. Pianist Oscar Peterson is the perfect complement. His effortless swing sets up the tenor saxophonist just the way he likes it. A master class in saxophone ballads.

Verve Acoustic Sounds Series: Stereo, completely analog mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound from the original tapes, QPR pressing (180g), sturdy tip-on gatefold (Stoughton Printing), padded inner sleeve.
