• 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.”
