Soulville

VINYL FORMAT. One of the great tenors of the swing era, Ben Webster (1909-1973), known as 'The Brute' for his big vibrant sound, was also uniquely warm and melodic, making him a superior interpreter of ballads. Recorded in studio with the Oscar Peterson trio in 1957, this album is one in a string of classic albums recorded by Webster for the Verve label during the '50s. After two bluesy self-penned tracks, Webster tackles five skilfully rendered ballads, including an exquisite 'Where Are You.'
