內容簡介
內容簡介 "Neither man-made serious concessions to the other. The most effective analogy might be watching a stately ship move slowly over a boisterous sea. Webster’s imperious balladry was his main stockin-trade, and we forget that he had a considerable facility at faster tempos, and even managed to preserve that distinctive just-woke-up tone. Tatum eats up the tunes, leaving little for Red Callender and Bill Douglass to do, though the bassman, in particular, makes the best possible use of his moments of freedom. " - Penguin Guide to JazzIt would be hard to find two musicians born in the same year with so different a sound from each other as Art Tatum and Ben Webster. The former, considered one of the few authentic geniuses of jazz piano, is best known for being a virtuoso soloist of outstanding precision. The latter is among the most celebrated sax players in jazz history, especially for having been a member of Duke Ellington’s great orchestra. It wasn’t in an attempt to erase these differences that producer Norman Granz decided to record them together on this, their only quartet album. - Jazz MagazinePERSONNEL:Art Tatum - pianoBen Webster - tenor saxRed Callender - bassBill Douglass - drumsLos Angeles, California, September 11, 1956(*) BONUS TRACKS:A4: Art Tatum (p), Red Callender (b), Jo Jones (d).Los Angeles, January 27, 1956.B5: Roy Eldridge (tp), Art Tatum (p), John Simmons (b), Alvin Stoller (d).Los Angeles, March 23 & 29, 1955.TRACKS:SIDE AA1 ALL THE THINGS YOU AREA2 MY ONE AND ONLY LOVEA3 MY IDEALA4 I GUESS I’LL HAVE TO CHANGE MY PLAN (*)SIDE BB1 GONE WITH THE WINDB2 HAVE YOU MET MISS JONES?B3 NIGHT AND DAYB4 WHERE OR WHENB5 IN A SENTIMENTAL MOOD (*)"
