This release presents some of the most impressive Ben Webster sessions from the 50's, showcasing his romantic side and his full and warm sound on beautiful ballads.

On these sides, originally compiled in 1978 by Verve on a double-LP set, he is accompanied by old friends like Billy Strayhorn, Teddy Wilson and Jimmy Hamilton. The dates also feature Tony Scott, Hank Jones, George Duvivier and Louie Bellson as well as orchestras arranged by Strayhorn and Ralph Burns.
