All of the Ben Webster-Oscar Peterson quartet/quintet collaborations featuring Webster as the only horn player, for the first time ever on one double CD set.
Included are the complete classic albums “Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson” (1959) and “Soulville” (1957). Also here are the quintet sessions originally issued on “King Of The Tenors” (recorded 1953; released in 1956).
As a bonus, some Webster-Peterson collaborations in larger groups: a “Ballad Medley” from their first recorded session together, five septet tracks with Harry Edison & Benny Carter that complete the “King Of The Tenors” album, and three songs from the “Soulville” sessions with Webster at the piano.
