This is an excellent, natural-sounding transfer that emphasizes the music, realizing the potential of the SACD format. Great playing by all, with a wonderfully sensitive musical interaction and vibe that clearly comes through in the listening.5/5 CDreview

Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original master tapes to vinyl and PCM. The DSD was sourced from the PCM. George listened to all of the different A/D converters he had before he chose which to use, and he felt the George Massenburg GML 20 bit A/D produced the best and most synergistic sound for the project.

Renowned for stoic improvisational techniques, Ben Webster teams with an ideal foil in pianist Oscar Peterson on this 1959 date, anchored by two gorgeous ballads and an overall lustrous sense of swing. Free of arrangements, it nonetheless takes its position as a definitive mainstream period jazz recording. 

Here, in a program of timeless songs, Peterson proves to be the perfect partner, his effortless swing an excellent set-up for the unhurried scoops, slurs and bent notes of tenor saxophone balladeer Webster. Supporting musicians include Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. The set is on par with Webster's classic Soulville.
