• Ben Webster had already enjoyed a long and fruitful career by the time these recordings were made. However, he still wasn’t known for the sensual ballad feeling that became his trademark during the last two decades of his life. (He was still recognized for the hard blowing fast tenor sax style he played with both the Duke Ellington orchestra and with his own multiple small groups.)

• Even though his repertoire would forever be linked to that of the Duke, Webster presents versions of four standards on this album and, what’s most unusual, two original compositions, “Late Date” and the title tune.

• This limited LP edition is a special audiophile pressing on 180 gram virgin vinyl, with thick cardboard sleeve.

• Personnel : Ben Webster tenor sax; Oscar Peterson piano; Herb Ellis guitar; Ray Brown bass; Stan Levey drums. Los Angeles, October 15, 1957.
