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 in the forefront on a variety of melodic ballads and standards. The combination works very well. ~ Scott Yanow

Professional Reviews

Q (8/96, p.141) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this encounter with Ben Webster achieves lift-off surprisingly easily, probably because of the differences between the two men....it's as good a testament as he could want..."

Uncut (8/02, p.120) - 4 out of 5 - "...Aristocratic elegance..."
