The final volume in this very worthy series is a comparatively relaxed affair, a quartet set with tenor-saxophonist Ben Webster. Webster lets Tatum fill the background with an infinite number of notes while emphasizing his warm tenor tone in the forefront on a variety of melodic ballads and standards. The combination works very well.

  1. I mean, WOW! Thx so much! I love this last volume of the series --Webster overcomes Tatum's whirlwind, by just being himself --beautiful melodic lines, Tatum in the background doing marvellous things! Cheers Daniel, from Spain... P.S.: I used to have this CD, but I lost it, can't thank you enough, as well as for your speediness...
