The legendary tenor saxophonist Ben Webster really hit his stride on the Verve label, and particularly with Soulville. This 1957 date with the Oscar Peterson Trio is one of the highlights of that golden '50s run. After starting off with two bluesy originals, Webster gets to the heart of things on fve wistful ballads. Providing sympathetic counterpoint, Peterson forgoes his usual pyrotechnics for some leisurely compact solos; his cohorts - guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Stan Levey - are equally assured and splendid.

Includes the bonus track "Tenderly".
