Almost 25 years into his recording career, tenor saxophonist Ben Webster made a
series of studio recordings under the supervision of producer Norman Granz.
These marvelous performances were reissued in chronological sequence by the
Classics label in 2008. Each volume of Ben Webster on Classics is richly packed
with satisfying ballads, blues, and swing. This installment borders between
superb and divine. Three titles recorded for Mercury on January 22, 1953, find
Webster soloing in front of an orchestra conducted by Johnny Richards, a student
of Arnold Schoenberg who served as an arranger for Stan Kenton. Recorded at
sessions that took place in April and December 1953, tracks four through 12 were
originally released on the Norgran album King of the Tenors. The collective
personnel from these dates is typical of the Granz embarrassment of riches
approach, for here were trumpeter Harry Sweets Edison, alto saxophonist Benny
Carter, pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarists Barney Kessel and Herb Ellis, bassist
Ray Brown, and drummer J.C. Heard. Tracks 13-16 were recorded on March 30, 1954,
with the assistance of pianist Teddy Wilson, bassist Ray Brown, and drummers
Alvin Stoller and Jo Jones. This material, along with the rest of the titles on
the collection, formed the Verve album Music for Loving. On tracks 17-21, Ben
Webster interprets sensuous ballads backed by the Ralph Burns Orchestra. In
addition to a string section, the ensemble included clarinetist Tony Scott,
bassist George Duvivier, drummer Louis Bellson, and composer/pianist/arranger
Billy Strayhorn.
