Title: The Ultimate Sax Ballad CD
Product review: Ordinarily, gathering an artist's ballads on a single CD produces a bland repitition. But with the Ben Webster, who became a Total Master of the tenor sax ballad, you end up with a masterpiece. The numbers were carefully selected and sequenced from 5 great Verve CDs. They seem to all be from the most recent meticulously remastered versions, revealing every nuance of Ben's delicate phrasing. An absolute jewel that should appeal to those who don't even ordinarily care for jazz. For those who do, I strongly recommend, as a companion,Ben Webster's Finest Hourfor a nice survey of Ben's entire career with only one redundant tune from this.
